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.

Summary

Creating a Dialogflow bot with the personality of a customer support representative

Dialogflow is a very popular tool used to create chatbots. Similar to Wit.ai, Botpress, Microsoft Bot Framework, and several other ready-to-deploy services available for creating chatbots, Dialogflow comes with the added advantage of its tight integration with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and the possibility of using Dialogflow agents as actions for the Google Assistant, which runs natively on billions of Android devices.

Dialogflow was formerly known as Api.ai. After its acquisition by Google, it was renamed and has since grown in its popularity and extensibility. The platform allows very easy integration with several platforms, such as Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Line, Viber, and several other major communication platforms.

The project we will develop in this chapter will follow the following...
