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.

Overview of transfer learning

In Chapter 7, Convolutional Neural Networks, we trained a convolutional neural network on about 50,000 observations and we saw that, because of the complexity of the network and problem, we were overfitting on the training set after just a few epochs. If you recall, I had made the comment that 50,000 observations in our training set wasn't very large for a computer vision problem. That's true. Computer vision problems love data and the more data we can give them, the better they perform.

The deep neural networks that we might consider state-of-the-art in computer vision are often trained on a dataset called ImageNet. The ImageNet dataset (http://www.image-net.org/) is a 1,000 class classifier that contains 1.2 million images. That's more like it! A dataset this large allows researchers the ability to build really complex deep neural...
