Hands-On Python Deep Learning for the Web

By: Anubhav Singh, Sayak Paul

Overview of this book

When used effectively, deep learning techniques can help you develop intelligent web apps. In this book, you'll cover the latest tools and technological practices that are being used to implement deep learning in web development using Python. Starting with the fundamentals of machine learning, you'll focus on DL and the basics of neural networks, including common variants such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs). You'll learn how to integrate them into websites with the frontends of different standard web tech stacks. The book then helps you gain practical experience of developing a deep learning-enabled web app using Python libraries such as Django and Flask by creating RESTful APIs for custom models. Later, you'll explore how to set up a cloud environment for deep learning-based web deployments on Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Next, you'll learn how to use Microsoft's intelligent Emotion API, which can detect a person's emotions through a picture of their face. You'll also get to grips with deploying real-world websites, in addition to learning how to secure websites using reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare. Finally, you'll use NLP to integrate a voice UX through Dialogflow on your web pages. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to deploy intelligent web apps and websites with the help of effective tools and practices.

A short tour of the AWS offerings

AWS offers its services and solutions in a variety of domains. The following are the different types of module that AWS offers (the ones in brackets are the names of the different services offered by AWS):

  • Compute (EC2, Lambda, and so on)
  • Storage (S3, Storage Gateway, and so on)
  • Machine learning (Amazon SageMaker, AWS DeepLens, and so on)
  • Database (RDS, DynamoDB, and so on)
  • Migration and transfer (Snowball, DataSync, and so on)
  • Networking and content delivery (CloudFront, VPC, and so on)
  • Developer tools (CodeStar, CodeCommit, and so on)
  • Robotics (AWS RoboMaker)
  • Blockchain (Amazon Managed Blockchain)
  • Analytics (Athena, CloudSearch, and so on)

There are also many others, as shown in the following screenshot:

The list is actually pretty extensive, but let's restrict our focus to machine learning (also known as deep learning) services for...
