Advanced Deep Learning with Python

By: Ivan Vasilev

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.

Generative Models

In the previous two chapters (Chapter 4, Advanced Convolutional Networks, and Chapter 5, Object Detection and Image Segmentation), we focused on supervised computer vision problems, such as classification and object detection. In this chapter, we'll discuss how to create new images with the help of unsupervised neural networks. After all, it's a lot better knowing that you don't need labeled data. More specifically, we'll talk about generative models.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Intuition and justification of generative models
  • Introduction to Variational Autoencoders (VAEs)
  • Introduction to Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
  • Types of GAN
  • Introducing to artistic style transfer
