Hands-On Transfer Learning with Python

By: Dipanjan Sarkar, Nitin Panwar, Raghav Bali, Tamoghna Ghosh

Overview of this book

Transfer learning is a machine learning (ML) technique where knowledge gained during training a set of problems can be used to solve other similar problems. The purpose of this book is two-fold; firstly, we focus on detailed coverage of deep learning (DL) and transfer learning, comparing and contrasting the two with easy-to-follow concepts and examples. The second area of focus is real-world examples and research problems using TensorFlow, Keras, and the Python ecosystem with hands-on examples. The book starts with the key essential concepts of ML and DL, followed by depiction and coverage of important DL architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), deep neural networks (DNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), and capsule networks. Our focus then shifts to transfer learning concepts, such as model freezing, fine-tuning, pre-trained models including VGG, inception, ResNet, and how these systems perform better than DL models with practical examples. In the concluding chapters, we will focus on a multitude of real-world case studies and problems associated with areas such as computer vision, audio analysis and natural language processing (NLP). By the end of this book, you will be able to implement both DL and transfer learning principles in your own systems.

Text Document Categorization

In this chapter, we discuss the application of transfer learning to text document categorization. Text categorization is a very popular natural language processing task. The key objective is to assign a document to one or more classes or categories based on its textual content. This has widespread applications in the industry including email classification to spam/non-spam, review and ratings classification, sentiment analysis, email or incident routing where we categorize emails\incidents so that it can be automatically assigned to respective person. The following are the major topics that will be covered in this chapter:

  • Text categorization in general, industry applications, and challenges
  • Benchmark text categorization datasets and performance of traditional models
  • Word representation by dense vectors—deep learning models
  • CNN document model...
