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.

Choosing a deep learning API provider

With the long list of API providers for deep learning that could be compiled, it can be a daunting task to decide which API you require. However, there are some simple rules that you can follow to come up with the most suitable API for your needs, and we'll be discussing a few of them in detail here:

  • Platforms:
    • As simple as it sounds, this is probably the foremost factor that comes into play when you are choosing your API provider. Most of the time, if you are developing a product that runs on Google technologies, for instance, you might want to use the deep learning APIs that Google provides, simply because they would integrate seamlessly with the application development interface that you are working with.
    • More often than not, a development environment also offers templated solutions for using its deep learning APIs that are very...
