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 problem with detecting smiles

We must note at this point, that the problem of external validity (that is, the generalizability of our model) persists with a dataset like the smile detector. Given the restricted manner in which data has been collected, it would be unreasonable to expect our CNN to generalize well on other data. Firstly, the network is trained with low resolution input images. Moreover, it has only seen images of one smiling or frowning person in the same location each time. Feeding this network an image of, say, the managerial board of FIFA will not cause it to detect smiles however large and present they may be. We would need to readapt our approach. One way can be through applying the same transformations to the input image as done for the training data, by segmenting and resizing the input image per face. A better approach would be to gather more varied...
