Overview of this book

Deep learning has become an essential necessity to enter the world of artificial intelligence. With this book deep learning techniques will become more accessible, practical, and relevant to practicing data scientists. It moves deep learning from academia to the real world through practical examples. You will learn how Tensor Board is used to monitor the training of deep neural networks and solve binary classification problems using deep learning. Readers will then learn to optimize hyperparameters in their deep learning models. The book then takes the readers through the practical implementation of training CNN's, RNN's, and LSTM's with word embeddings and seq2seq models from scratch. Later the book explores advanced topics such as Deep Q Network to solve an autonomous agent problem and how to use two adversarial networks to generate artificial images that appear real. For implementation purposes, we look at popular Python-based deep learning frameworks such as Keras and Tensorflow, Each chapter provides best practices and safe choices to help readers make the right decision while training deep neural networks. By the end of this book, you will be able to solve real-world problems quickly with deep neural networks.

An introduction to natural language processing

The field of NLP is vast and complex. Any interaction between human language and computer science might technically fall into this category. For the sake of this discussion though, I'll confine NLP to analyzing, understanding, and, sometimes, generating human language.

From the beginnings of computer science, we've been fascinated by NLP as a gateway to strong artificial intelligence. In 1950, Alan Turing proposed the Turing test, which involves a computer impersonating a human so well that it's indistinguishable from another human, as a metric for machine intelligence. Ever since, we've worked to find clever ways to help machines understand human language. Along the way, we've developed speech-to-text transcription, automatic translation between human languages, the automatic summation of documents, topic...
