Overview of this book

With the surge in artificial intelligence in applications catering to both business and consumer needs, deep learning is more important than ever for meeting current and future market demands. With this book, you’ll explore deep learning, and learn how to put machine learning to use in your projects. This second edition of Python Deep Learning will get you up to speed with deep learning, deep neural networks, and how to train them with high-performance algorithms and popular Python frameworks. You’ll uncover different neural network architectures, such as convolutional networks, recurrent neural networks, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, and capsule networks. You’ll also learn how to solve problems in the fields of computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and speech recognition. You'll study generative model approaches such as variational autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to generate images. As you delve into newly evolved areas of reinforcement learning, you’ll gain an understanding of state-of-the-art algorithms that are the main components behind popular games Go, Atari, and Dota. By the end of the book, you will be well-versed with the theory of deep learning along with its real-world applications.

Deep Learning in Autonomous Vehicles

Let's think about how autonomous vehicles (AVs) would affect our lives. For one thing, instead of focusing our attention on driving, we'll be able to do something else during our trip. Catering to the needs of such travelers could probably spawn a whole industry in itself. But that's just a side effect. If we can be more productive or just relax during our travels, it is likely that we'll start traveling more. Not to mention the benefits for people with limited ability to drive themselves. Making such an essential and basic commodity as transportation more accessible has the potential to transform our lives. And that's just the effect on us as individuals. AVs can have profound effects on the economy too, starting from delivery services and going to just-in-time manufacturing. In short, making AVs work is a very high...
