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

A typical image is comprised thousands of pixels; text is also comprised thousands of unique words, and the number of distinct customers of a company could be in the millions. Given this, all three—user, text, and imageswould have to be represented as a vector in thousands of dimensional planes. The drawback of representing a vector in such a high dimensional space is that we will not able to calculate the similarity of vectors efficiently.

Representing an image, text, or user in a lower dimension helps us in grouping entities that are very similar. Encoding is a way to perform unsupervised learning to represent an input in a lower dimension with minimal loss of information while retaining the information about images that are similar.

In this chapter, we will be learning about the following:

  • Encoding an image to a much a lower dimension
    • Vanilla autoencoder...
