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.

Getting started with boto3

boto3 is the official library for communicating with AWS APIs, provided by the AWS team. You can find the library at https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-python/, and it can be installed using the following command:

pip install boto3

After installation, you need to configure boto3 for use with your project. To configure boto3 (https://bit.ly/2OvXAvb), the first step is to get your AWS access keys from the Identity and Access Management (IAM) console. Go through the following steps to perform the configuration:

  1. Go to your AWS IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam. It will look like the following:

On the preceding dashboard, you will be able to see the access keys.

  1. Click on Delete your root access keys and then Manage Security Credentials. You will be presented with the following window:

  1. Expand the Access keys (access key ID and secret access...
