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.

Generative Models

Generative models are a type of machine learning algorithm that is used to create data. They are used to generate new data that is similar to the data that was used to train the model. They can be used to create new data for testing or to fill in missing data. Generative models are used in many applications, such as density estimation, image synthesis, and natural language processing. The VAE discussed in Chapter 8, Autoencoders, was one type of generative model; in this chapter, we will discuss a wide range of generative models, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and their variants, flow-based models, and diffusion models.

GANs have been defined as the most interesting idea in the last 10 years in ML (https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-recent-and-potentially-upcoming-breakthroughs-in-deep-learning) by Yann LeCun, one of the fathers of deep learning. GANs are able to learn how to reproduce synthetic data that looks real. For instance, computers can learn...
