Overview of this book

This book will take you from the basics of neural networks to advanced implementations of architectures using a recipe-based approach. We will learn about how neural networks work and the impact of various hyper parameters on a network's accuracy along with leveraging neural networks for structured and unstructured data. Later, we will learn how to classify and detect objects in images. We will also learn to use transfer learning for multiple applications, including a self-driving car using Convolutional Neural Networks. We will generate images while leveraging GANs and also by performing image encoding. Additionally, we will perform text analysis using word vector based techniques. Later, we will use Recurrent Neural Networks and LSTM to implement chatbot and Machine Translation systems. Finally, you will learn about transcribing images, audio, and generating captions and also use Deep Q-learning to build an agent that plays Space Invaders game. By the end of this book, you will have developed the skills to choose and customize multiple neural network architectures for various deep learning problems you might encounter.

Applications of a neural network

Recently, we have seen a huge adoption of neural networks in a variety of applications. In this section, let's try to understand the reason why adoption might have increased considerably. Neural networks can be architected in multiple ways. Here are some of the possible ways:

The box at the bottom is the input, followed by the hidden layer (the middle box), and the box at the top is the output layer. The one-to-one architecture is a typical neural network with a hidden layer between the input and output layer. Examples of different architectures are as follows:

Architecture Example
One-to-many The input is an image and the output is a caption for the image
Many-to-one The input is a movie review (multiple words) and the output is the sentiment associated with the review
Many-to-many Machine translation of a sentence in one language to a sentence in another language

Apart from the preceding points, neural networks are also in a position to understand the content in an image and detect the position where the content is located using an architecture named Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which looks as follows:

Here, we saw examples of recommender systems, image analysis, text analysis, and audio analysis, and we can see that neural networks give us the flexibility to solve a problem using multiple architectures, resulting in increased adoption as the number of applications increases.
