Deep Learning Quick Reference

By: Mike Bernico

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.

How GANs can fail

Training a GAN is a tricky thing, to say the least. There are an amazing number of ways one fail at training a GAN. In fact, in writing this chapter, I found myself expanding the vocabulary of my profanity vector significantly while also spending a small fortune on cloud GPU time! Before I show you two working GANs later in the chapter, let's consider what could break and how we might be able to fix those things.

Stability

Training a GAN requires a careful balancing act between the discriminator and generator. The discriminator and generator are both fighting against each other for deep network supremacy. On the other hand, they also need each other to learn and grow. In order for this to work, neither...
