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.

Common pitfalls: dos and don’ts

In this section, we will give five dos and a few don’ts that are typically recommended when dealing with transformers.

Dos

Let’s start with recommended best practices:

  • Do use pretrained large models. Today, it is almost always convenient to start from an already available pretrained model such as T5, instead of training your transformer from scratch. If you use a pretrained model, you for sure stand on the giant’s shoulders; think about it!
  • Do start with few-shot learning. When you start working with transformers, it’s always a good idea to start with a pretrained model and then perform a lightweight few-shot learning step. Generally, this would improve the quality of results without high computational costs.
  • Do use fine-tuning on your domain data and on your customer data. After playing with pretraining models and few-shot learning, you might consider doing a proper fine-tuning on your...
