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

Object detection using OpenCV

Let's start our project with a basic or traditional implementation of Open Source Computer Vision (OpenCV). This library is primarily targeted at real-time applications that need computer vision capabilities.

OpenCV has its API wrappers in various languages such as C, C++, Python, and so on, and the best way forward is to build a quick prototype using Python wrappers or any other language you are comfortable with, and once you are ready with your code, rewrite it in C/C++ for production.

In this chapter, we will be using the Python wrappers to create our initial object detection module.

So, let's do it.
