- Why are CNN and RNN combined in image captioning?
CNN is needed for capturing image features, whereas, RNN is needed for creating the language output. - Why are start and end tokens provided in image captioning but not in handwritten transcription?
CTC loss does not need such tokens, and moreover, in OCR, we generate tokens in all time-steps in one shot. - Why is the CTC loss function leveraged in handwriting transcription?
We cannot delineate timesteps in the image. CTC takes care of aligning key image features with timesteps. - How do transformers help in object detection?
By treating anchor boxes as embedding inputs for transformer decoders DETR learns dynamic anchor boxes thereby helping object detection.

Overview of this book
Deep learning is the driving force behind many recent advances in various computer vision (CV) applications. This book takes a hands-on approach to help you to solve over 50 CV problems using PyTorch1.x on real-world datasets.
You’ll start by building a neural network (NN) from scratch using NumPy and PyTorch and discover best practices for tweaking its hyperparameters. You’ll then perform image classification using convolutional neural networks and transfer learning and understand how they work. As you progress, you’ll implement multiple use cases of 2D and 3D multi-object detection, segmentation, human-pose-estimation by learning about the R-CNN family, SSD, YOLO, U-Net architectures, and the Detectron2 platform. The book will also guide you in performing facial expression swapping, generating new faces, and manipulating facial expressions as you explore autoencoders and modern generative adversarial networks. You’ll learn how to combine CV with NLP techniques, such as LSTM and transformer, and RL techniques, such as Deep Q-learning, to implement OCR, image captioning, object detection, and a self-driving car agent. Finally, you'll move your NN model to production on the AWS Cloud.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to leverage modern NN architectures to solve over 50 real-world CV problems confidently.
