The next architecture we're going to discuss is Visual Geometry Group (VGG) (from Oxford's Visual Geometry Group, Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition, https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.1556). The VGG family of networks remains popular today and is often used as a benchmark against newer architectures. Prior to VGG (for example, LeNet-5: http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/lenet/ and AlexNet), the initial convolutional layers of a network used filters with large receptive fields, such as 11×11. Additionally, the networks usually had alternating single convolutional and pooling layers. The authors of the paper observed that a convolutional layer with a large filter size can be replaced with a stack of two or more convolutional layers with smaller filters (factorized convolution). For example, we can replace...

Overview of this book
In order to build robust deep learning systems, you’ll need to understand everything from how neural networks work to training CNN models. In this book, you’ll discover newly developed deep learning models, methodologies used in the domain, and their implementation based on areas of application.
You’ll start by understanding the building blocks and the math behind neural networks, and then move on to CNNs and their advanced applications in computer vision. You'll also learn to apply the most popular CNN architectures in object detection and image segmentation. Further on, you’ll focus on variational autoencoders and GANs. You’ll then use neural networks to extract sophisticated vector representations of words, before going on to cover various types of recurrent networks, such as LSTM and GRU. You’ll even explore the attention mechanism to process sequential data without the help of recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Later, you’ll use graph neural networks for processing structured data, along with covering meta-learning, which allows you to train neural networks with fewer training samples. Finally, you’ll understand how to apply deep learning to autonomous vehicles.
By the end of this book, you’ll have mastered key deep learning concepts and the different applications of deep learning models in the real world.
