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.

Topic-modeling, using embeddings

In the previous recipe, we learned about generating predictions for movies that a user is likely to watch. One of the limitations of the previous way of generating predictions is that the variety of movie recommendations would be limited if we did not perform further processing on top of the movie predictions.

A variety of recommendations is important; if there were no variety, only certain types of products would be discovered by users.

In this recipe, we will group movies based on their similarity and identify the common themes of the movies. Additionally, we will also look into how we can increase the variety of recommendations that can be provided to a user. Having said that, it is highly likely that this strategy will work less in the specific case of movie recommendations, as the variety would be much lower when compared to a retail/e-commerce...
