Python Deep Learning Projects

By: Matthew Lamons, Rahul Kumar, Abhishek Nagaraja

Overview of this book

Deep learning has been gradually revolutionizing every field of artificial intelligence, making application development easier. Python Deep Learning Projects imparts all the knowledge needed to implement complex deep learning projects in the field of computational linguistics and computer vision. Each of these projects is unique, helping you progressively master the subject. You’ll learn how to implement a text classifier system using a recurrent neural network (RNN) model and optimize it to understand the shortcomings you might experience while implementing a simple deep learning system. Similarly, you’ll discover how to develop various projects, including word vector representation, open domain question answering, and building chatbots using seq-to-seq models and language modeling. In addition to this, you’ll cover advanced concepts, such as regularization, gradient clipping, gradient normalization, and bidirectional RNNs, through a series of engaging projects. By the end of this book, you will have gained knowledge to develop your own deep learning systems in a straightforward way and in an efficient way

Summary

In this chapter, we successfully built a deep convolution neural network/VGG16 model in Keras on FLIC images. We got hands-on experience in preparing these images for modeling. We successfully implemented transfer learning, and understood that doing so will save us a lot of time. We defined some key hyperparameters as well in some places, and reasoned about why we used what we used. Finally, we tested the modified VGG16 model performance on unseen data and determined that we succeeded in achieving our goals.
