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

We dove right into this deep-learning project in Python, creating and training an ASR model that understands speech data. We learned to feature engineer the speech data to extract various kinds of features from it and then build a speech recognition system that could detect a user's voice.

We're happy to have achieved our stated goal!

In this chapter, we built a system that recognizes English speech, using the DS2 model.

You learned following:

  • To work with speech and spectrograms
  • To build an end-to-end speech recognition system
  • The CTC loss function
  • Batch normalization and SortaGrad for RNNs

This caps off a major section of the deep-learning projects in this Python book that explores chatbots, NLP, and speech recognition with RNNs (uni and bi-directional, with and without LSTM components), and CNNs. We've seen the power of these technologies to provide...
