Deep Learning Quick Reference

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 overview of the GAN

Generative Adversarial Networks are all about generating new content. GANs are capable of learning some distribution and creating a new sample from that distribution. That sample might just be a new point on a line that isn't present in our training data, but it could also be a new point in a very complex dataset. GANs have been used to generate new music, sounds, and images. According to Yann LeCun, adversarial training is the coolest thing since sliced bread (https://www.quora.com/session/Yann-LeCun/1). I'm not sure that sliced bread is especially cool, but Yann LeCun is a very cool guy so I'll take his word for it. Regardless, GANs are incredibly popular and while perhaps not as practical as some of the other topics we've covered in a business setting yet, they deserve some consideration in our survey of deep learning techniques.
