Intelligent Projects Using Python

By: Santanu Pattanayak

Overview of this book

This book will be a perfect companion if you want to build insightful projects from leading AI domains using Python. The book covers detailed implementation of projects from all the core disciplines of AI. We start by covering the basics of how to create smart systems using machine learning and deep learning techniques. You will assimilate various neural network architectures such as CNN, RNN, LSTM, to solve critical new world challenges. You will learn to train a model to detect diabetic retinopathy conditions in the human eye and create an intelligent system for performing a video-to-text translation. You will use the transfer learning technique in the healthcare domain and implement style transfer using GANs. Later you will learn to build AI-based recommendation systems, a mobile app for sentiment analysis and a powerful chatbot for carrying customer services. You will implement AI techniques in the cybersecurity domain to generate Captchas. Later you will train and build autonomous vehicles to self-drive using reinforcement learning. You will be using libraries from the Python ecosystem such as TensorFlow, Keras and more to bring the core aspects of machine learning, deep learning, and AI. By the end of this book, you will be skilled to build your own smart models for tackling any kind of AI problems without any hassle.

Breaking CAPTCHAs with deep learning

With the recent success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in computer vision tasks, breaking basic CAPTCHAs in a few minutes is a relatively easy task. Consequently, CAPTCHAs need to be much more evolved than they have in the past. In the first part of this chapter, we are going to expose the vulnerability of basic CAPTCHAs being automatically detected using bots with a deep-learning framework. We are going to follow this up by exploiting GAN to create CAPTCHAs that are harder for bots to detect.

Generating basic CAPTCHAs

CAPTCHAs can be generated using the Claptcha package in Python. We use this to generate CAPTCHA images of four characters consisting of numbers and text. Consequently...
