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.

Classifying common audio

In the previous sections, we have understood the strategy to perform modeling on a structured dataset and also on unstructured text data.

In this section, we will be learning about performing a classification exercise where the input is raw audio.

The strategy we will be adopting is that we will be extracting features from the input audio, where each audio signal is represented as a vector of a fixed number of features.

There are multiple ways of extracting features from an audio—however, for this exercise, we will be extracting the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) corresponding to the audio file.

Once we extract the features, we shall perform the classification exercise in a way that is very similar to how we built a model for MNIST dataset classification—where we had hidden layers connecting the input and output layers.
