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.

Vanilla autoencoders

The vanilla autoencoder, as proposed by Hinton in his 2006 paper Reducing the Dimensionality of Data with Neural Networks, consists of one hidden layer only. The number of neurons in the hidden layer is fewer than the number of neurons in the input (or output) layer.

This results in producing a bottleneck effect in the flow of information in the network. The hidden layer (y) between the encoder input and decoder output is also called the “bottleneck layer.” Learning in the autoencoder consists of developing a compact representation of the input signal at the hidden layer so that the output layer can faithfully reproduce the original input.

In Figure 8.2, you can see the architecture of a vanilla autoencoder:

Let’s try to build a vanilla autoencoder. While in the paper Hinton used it for dimension reduction, in the code to follow, we will use autoencoders for image reconstruction...
