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.

Diffusion models for data generation

The 2021 paper Diffusion Models Beat GANs on Image synthesis by two OpenAI research scientists Prafulla Dhariwal and Alex Nichol garnered a lot of interest in diffusion models for data generation.

Using the Frechet Inception Distance (FID) as the metrics for evaluation of generated images, they were able to achieve an FID score of 3.85 on a diffusion model trained on ImageNet data:

The idea behind diffusion models is very simple. We take our input image , and at each time step (forward step), we add a Gaussian noise to it (diffusion of noise) such that after time steps, the original image is no longer decipherable. And then find a model that can, starting from a noisy input,...
