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.

Measuring precision, recall, and f1-score

As you're likely experienced with other binary classifiers, I thought it was wise to take a few sentences to talk about how to create some of the normal metrics used with more traditional binary classifiers.

One difference between the Keras functional API and what you might be used to in scikit-learn is the behavior of the .predict() method. When using Keras, .predict() will return an nxk matrix of k class probabilities for each of the n classes. For a binary classifier, there will be only one column, the class probability for class 1. This makes the Keras .predict() more like the .predict_proba() in scikit-learn.

When calculating precision, recall, or other class-based metrics, you'll need to transform the .predict() output by choosing some operating point, as shown in the following code:

def class_from_prob(x, operating_point...
