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

Building a regression model for prediction using an MLP deep neural network

In any real job working in an AI team, one of the primary goals will be to build regression models that can make predictions in non-linear datasets. Because of the complexity of the real world and the data that you'll be working with, simple linear regression models won't provide the predictive power you're seeking. That is why, in this chapter, we will discuss how to build world-class prediction models using MLP. More information can be found at http://www.deeplearningbook.org/contents/mlp.html, and an example of the MLP architecture is shown here:

An MLP with two hidden layers

We will implement a neural network with a simple architecture of only two layers, using TensorFlow, that will perform regression on the MNIST dataset (http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/) that we will provide. We...
