Hands-On Deep Learning Architectures with Python

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.

SSD MobileNetV2

The makers of MobileNetV2 also made real-time object detection possible for mobile devices. They introduced a combination of the SSD Object Detector and MobileNetV2, which is called SSDLite. Remember that in Chapter 4CNN Architecture, we used ssd_mobilenetv2 for object detection. It is the same as SSDLite. The reason for choosing SSD is quite simple. SSD is built independent of the base network and hence the convolutions are replaced by depth-wise separable convolution. The first layer of SSDLite is attached to the expansion of layer 15 of MobileNetV2. Replacing standard convolutions with depth-wise separable convolution significantly reduces the number of parameters that are required by the network for object detection.

The following table shows a comparison of the number of parameters and multiplication operations required by the original SSD network...
