Overview of this book

Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras, Second Edition teaches neural networks and deep learning techniques alongside 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 is the machine learning library of choice for professional applications, while Keras offers a simple and powerful Python API for accessing TensorFlow. TensorFlow 2 provides full Keras integration, making advanced machine learning easier and more convenient than ever before. This book also introduces neural networks with TensorFlow, runs through the main applications (regression, ConvNets (CNNs), GANs, RNNs, NLP), covers two working example apps, and then dives into TF in production, TF mobile, and using TensorFlow with AutoML.

Deep Q-Networks

Deep Q-networks, DQNs for short, are deep learning neural networks designed to approximate the Q-function (value-state function), it is one of the most popular value-based reinforcement learning algorithms. The model was proposed by Google's DeepMind in NIPS 2013, in the paper entitled Playing Atari with Deep Reinforcement Learning. The most important contribution of this paper was that they used the raw state space directly as input to the network; the input features were not hand-crafted as done in earlier RL implementations. Also, they could train the agent with exactly the same architecture to play different Atari games and obtain state of the art results.

This model is an extension of the simple Q-learning algorithm. In Q-learning algorithms a Q-table is maintained as a cheat sheet. After each action the Q-table is updated using the Bellman equation [5]:

The is the learning rate, and its value lies in the range [0,1]. The first term represents the...
