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.

Building a binary classifier in Keras

Now that we've defined our problem, our inputs, our desired output, and our cost function, we can quickly code the rest in Keras. The only thing we're missing is a network architecture. We will talk more about that soon. One of my favorite things about Keras is how easy it is tune the network architecture. As you're about to see, it might take a lot of experimentation before you locate the best architecture. If that's true, a framework that easily changes makes your job easier!

The input layer

As before, our input layer needs to know the dimensions of our dataset. I like to build the entire Keras model inside a function, and allow that function to pass back the compiled...
