Overview of this book

Deep Learning with TensorFlow and Keras teaches you neural networks and deep learning techniques using TensorFlow (TF) and Keras. You'll learn how to write deep learning applications in the most powerful, popular, and scalable machine learning stack available. TensorFlow 2.x focuses on simplicity and ease of use, with updates like eager execution, intuitive higher-level APIs based on Keras, and flexible model building on any platform. This book uses the latest TF 2.0 features and libraries to present an overview of supervised and unsupervised machine learning models and provides a comprehensive analysis of deep learning and reinforcement learning models using practical examples for the cloud, mobile, and large production environments. This book also shows you how to create neural networks with TensorFlow, runs through popular algorithms (regression, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformers, generative adversarial networks (GANs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), natural language processing (NLP), and graph neural networks (GNNs)), covers working example apps, and then dives into TF in production, TF mobile, and TensorFlow with AutoML.

Introduction to neural networks

Artificial neural networks (briefly, “nets” or ANNs) represent a class of machine learning models loosely inspired by studies about the central nervous systems of mammals. Each ANN is made up of several interconnected “neurons,” organized in “layers.” Neurons in one layer pass messages to neurons in the next layer (they “fire,” in jargon terms) and this is how the network computes things. Initial studies were started in the early 1950s with the introduction of the “perceptron” [1], a two-layer network used for simple operations, and further expanded in the late 1960s with the introduction of the “back-propagation” algorithm used for efficient multi-layer network training (according to [2] and [3]). Some studies argue that these techniques have roots dating further back than normally cited [4].

Neural networks were a topic of intensive academic studies up until the...
