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.

Deep convolutional GAN (DCGAN)

Proposed in 2016, DCGANs have become one of the most popular and successful GAN architectures. The main idea of the design was using convolutional layers without the use of pooling layers or the end classifier layers. The convolutional strides and transposed convolutions are employed for the downsampling (the reduction of dimensions) and upsampling (the increase of dimensions. In GANs, we do this with the help of a transposed convolution layer. To know more about transposed convolution layers, refer to the paper A guide to convolution arithmetic for deep learning by Dumoulin and Visin) of images.

Before going into the details of the DCGAN architecture and its capabilities, let us point out the major changes that were introduced in the paper:

  • The network consisted of all convolutional layers. The pooling layers were replaced by strided convolutions (i.e., instead of one single stride while using the convolutional layer, we increased the...
