Overview of this book

Machines are excelling at creative human skills such as painting, writing, and composing music. Could you be more creative than generative AI? In this book, you’ll explore the evolution of generative models, from restricted Boltzmann machines and deep belief networks to VAEs and GANs. You’ll learn how to implement models yourself in TensorFlow and get to grips with the latest research on deep neural networks. There’s been an explosion in potential use cases for generative models. You’ll look at Open AI’s news generator, deepfakes, and training deep learning agents to navigate a simulated environment. Recreate the code that’s under the hood and uncover surprising links between text, image, and music generation.

Representing text

Language is one of the most complex aspects of our existence. We use language to communicate our thoughts and choices. Every language is defined with a list of characters called the alphabet, a vocabulary, and a set of rules called grammar. Yet it is not a trivial task to understand and learn a language. Languages are complex and have fuzzy grammatical rules and structures.

Text is a representation of language that helps us communicate and share. This makes it a perfect area of research to expand the horizons of what artificial intelligence can achieve. Text is a type of unstructured data that cannot directly be used by any of the known algorithms. Machine learning and deep learning algorithms in general work with numbers, matrices, vectors, and so on. This, in turn, raises the question: how can we represent text for different language-related tasks?

Bag of Words

As we mentioned earlier, every language consists of a defined list of characters (alphabet...
