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.

Introduction

In the previous chapter, we looked at a traditional deep feedforward neural network. One of the limitations of a traditional deep feedforward neural network is that it is not translation-invariant, that is, a cat image in the upper-right corner of an image would be considered different from an image that has a cat in the center of the image. Additionally, traditional neural networks are affected by the scale of an object. If the object is big in the majority of the images and a new image has the same object in it but with a smaller scale (occupies a smaller portion of the image), traditional neural networks are likely to fail in classifying the image.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are used to deal with such issues. Given that a CNN is able to deal with translation in images and also the scale of images, it is considered a lot more useful in object classification...
