Hands-On Neural Networks with Keras

By: Niloy Purkait

Overview of this book

Neural networks are used to solve a wide range of problems in different areas of AI and deep learning. Hands-On Neural Networks with Keras will start with teaching you about the core concepts of neural networks. You will delve into combining different neural network models and work with real-world use cases, including computer vision, natural language understanding, synthetic data generation, and many more. Moving on, you will become well versed with convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, autoencoders, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) using real-world training datasets. We will examine how to use CNNs for image recognition, how to use reinforcement learning agents, and many more. We will dive into the specific architectures of various networks and then implement each of them in a hands-on manner using industry-grade frameworks. By the end of this book, you will be highly familiar with all prominent deep learning models and frameworks, and the options you have when applying deep learning to real-world scenarios and embedding artificial intelligence as the core fabric of your organization.

The fundamentals of neural learning

We begin our journey with an attempt to gain a fundamental understanding of the concept of learning. Moreover, what we are really interested in is how such a rich and complex phenomenon as learning has been implemented on what many call the most advanced computer known to humankind. As we will observe, scientists seem to continuously find inspiration from the inner workings of our own biological neural networks. If nature has indeed figured out a way to leverage loosely connected signals from the outside world and patch them together as a continuous flow of responsive and adaptive awareness (something most humans will concur with), we would indeed like to know exactly what tricks and treats it may have used to do so. Yet, before we can move on to such topics, we must establish a baseline to understand why the notion of neural networks are far...
