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.

Regression analysis and deep neural networks

In classic regression analysis, we use a linear model to learn the relationship between a set of independent variables and a dependent variable. In finding this relationship, we expect to be able to predict the value of the dependent variable given the values of the independent variables.

A second important reason to do regression analysis is to understand the impact a single independent variable has on the dependent variable when all other independent variables are held constant. One of the great things about traditional multiple linear regression is the ceteris paribus property of linear models. We can interpret the impact a single independent variable has on the dependent variable without consideration to the other independent variable by using the learned weight associated with that independent variable. This type of interpretation...
