Hands-On Deep Learning Algorithms with Python

Overview of this book

Deep learning is one of the most popular domains in the AI space that allows you to develop multi-layered models of varying complexities. This book introduces you to popular deep learning algorithms—from basic to advanced—and shows you how to implement them from scratch using TensorFlow. Throughout the book, you will gain insights into each algorithm, the mathematical principles involved, and how to implement it in the best possible manner. The book starts by explaining how you can build your own neural networks, followed by introducing you to TensorFlow, the powerful Python-based library for machine learning and deep learning. Moving on, you will get up to speed with gradient descent variants, such as NAG, AMSGrad, AdaDelta, Adam, and Nadam. The book will then provide you with insights into recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and LSTM and how to generate song lyrics with RNN. Next, you will master the math necessary to work with convolutional and capsule networks, widely used for image recognition tasks. You will also learn how machines understand the semantics of words and documents using CBOW, skip-gram, and PV-DM. Finally, you will explore GANs, including InfoGAN and LSGAN, and autoencoders, such as contractive autoencoders and VAE. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with all the skills you need to implement deep learning in your own projects.

Language translation using the seq2seq model

The sequence-to-sequence model (seq2seq) is basically the many-to-many architecture of an RNN. It has been used for various applications because it can map an arbitrary-length input sequence to an arbitrary-length output sequence. Some of the applications of the seq2seq model include language translation, music generation, speech generation, and chatbots.

In most real-world scenarios, input and output sequences vary in length. For instance, let's take the language translation task, during which we need to convert a sentence from a source language to a target language. Let's assume we are converting from English (source) to French (target).

Consider our input sentence is what are you doing? Then, it would be mapped to que faites vous? As we can observe, the input sequence consists of four words, whereas the output sequence...
