Hands-On Deep Learning Architectures with Python

By: Yuxi (Hayden) Liu, Saransh Mehta

Overview of this book

Deep learning architectures are composed of multilevel nonlinear operations that represent high-level abstractions; this allows you to learn useful feature representations from the data. This book will help you learn and implement deep learning architectures to resolve various deep learning research problems. Hands-On Deep Learning Architectures with Python explains the essential learning algorithms used for deep and shallow architectures. Packed with practical implementations and ideas to help you build efficient artificial intelligence systems (AI), this book will help you learn how neural networks play a major role in building deep architectures. You will understand various deep learning architectures (such as AlexNet, VGG Net, GoogleNet) with easy-to-follow code and diagrams. In addition to this, the book will also guide you in building and training various deep architectures such as the Boltzmann mechanism, autoencoders, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), natural language processing (NLP), GAN, and more—all with practical implementations. By the end of this book, you will be able to construct deep models using popular frameworks and datasets with the required design patterns for each architecture. You will be ready to explore the potential of deep architectures in today's world.

Getting Started with Deep Learning

Artificial intelligence might work, and if it does, it will be the biggest development in technology ever.
– Sam Altman

Welcome to the Hands-On Deep Learning Architectures with Python! If you are completely unfamiliar with deep learning, you can begin your journey right here with this book. And for readers who have an idea about it, we have covered almost every aspect of deep learning. So you are definitely going to learn a lot more about deep learning from this book.

The book is laid out in a cumulative manner; that is, it begins from the basics and builds it over and over to get to advanced levels. In this chapter, we discuss how humans started creating intelligence in machines and how artificial intelligence gradually evolved to machine learning and eventually deep learning. We then see some nice applications of deep learning. Moving...
