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.

Predicting credit default

In the financial services industry, one of the major sources of losing out on revenues is the default of certain customers. However, a very small percentage of the total customers default. Hence, this becomes a problem of classification and, more importantly, identifying rare events.

In this case study, we will analyze a dataset that tracks certain key attributes of a customer at a given point in time and tries to predict whether the customer is likely to default.

Let's consider the way in which you might operationalize the predictions from the model we build. Businesses might want to have a special focus on the customers who are more likely to default—potentially giving them alternative payment options or a way to reduce the credit limit, and so on.
