Hands-On Deep Learning with Go

By: Gareth Seneque, Darrell Chua

Overview of this book

Go is an open source programming language designed by Google for handling large-scale projects efficiently. The Go ecosystem comprises some really powerful deep learning tools such as DQN and CUDA. With this book, you'll be able to use these tools to train and deploy scalable deep learning models from scratch. This deep learning book begins by introducing you to a variety of tools and libraries available in Go. It then takes you through building neural networks, including activation functions and the learning algorithms that make neural networks tick. In addition to this, you'll learn how to build advanced architectures such as autoencoders, restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and more. You'll also understand how you can scale model deployments on the AWS cloud infrastructure for training and inference. By the end of this book, you'll have mastered the art of building, training, and deploying deep learning models in Go to solve real-world problems.

Next Word Prediction with Recurrent Neural Networks

So far, we've covered a number of basic neural network architectures and their learning algorithms. These are the necessary building blocks for designing networks that are capable of more advanced tasks, such as machine translation, speech recognition, time series prediction, and image segmentation. In this chapter, we'll cover a class of algorithms/architectures that excel at these and other tasks due to their ability to model sequential dependencies in the data.

These algorithms have proven to be incredibly powerful, and their variants have found wide application in industry and consumer use cases. This runs the gamut of machine translation, text generation, named entity recognition, and sensor data analysis. When you say Okay, Google! or Hey, Siri!, behind the scenes, a type of trained recurrent neural network (RNN...
