Overview of this book

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are one of the most popular architectures used in computer vision apps. This book is an introduction to CNNs through solving real-world problems in deep learning while teaching you their implementation in popular Python library - TensorFlow. By the end of the book, you will be training CNNs in no time! We start with an overview of popular machine learning and deep learning models, and then get you set up with a TensorFlow development environment. This environment is the basis for implementing and training deep learning models in later chapters. Then, you will use Convolutional Neural Networks to work on problems such as image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation. After that, you will use transfer learning to see how these models can solve other deep learning problems. You will also get a taste of implementing generative models such as autoencoders and generative adversarial networks. Later on, you will see useful tips on machine learning best practices and troubleshooting. Finally, you will learn how to apply your models on large datasets of millions of images.

How? Code example


In this section we will learn the practical skills needed to perform transfer learning in TensorFlow. More specifically, we will learn how to select layers to be loaded from a checkpoint and also how to instruct our solver to optimize only specific layers while freezing the others.

TensorFlow useful elements

Since transfer learning is about training a network initialized with weights taken from another trained model, we will need to find one. In our example, we will use the encoding part of a pretrained convolutional autoencoder that was explained in chapter 6. The advantage of using an autoencoder is that we do not need labelled data, that is, it can be trained completely unsupervised.

An autoencoder without the decoder

An encoder (autoencoder without the decoder part) that consists of two convolutional layers and one fully connected layer is presented as follows. The parent autoencoder was trained on the MNIST dataset. Therefore, the network takes as input an image of size...
