Overview of this book

Are you fascinated by how deep learning powers intelligent applications such as self-driving cars, virtual assistants, facial recognition devices, and chatbots to process data and solve complex problems? Whether you are familiar with machine learning or are new to this domain, The Deep Learning Workshop will make it easy for you to understand deep learning with the help of interesting examples and exercises throughout. The book starts by highlighting the relationship between deep learning, machine learning, and artificial intelligence and helps you get comfortable with the TensorFlow 2.0 programming structure using hands-on exercises. You’ll understand neural networks, the structure of a perceptron, and how to use TensorFlow to create and train models. The book will then let you explore the fundamentals of computer vision by performing image recognition exercises with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using Keras. As you advance, you’ll be able to make your model more powerful by implementing text embedding and sequencing the data using popular deep learning solutions. Finally, you’ll get to grips with bidirectional recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and build generative adversarial networks (GANs) for image synthesis. By the end of this deep learning book, you’ll have learned the skills essential for building deep learning models with TensorFlow and Keras.

5. Deep Learning for Sequences

Overview

In this chapter, we will implement deep learning-based approaches to sequence modeling, after understanding the considerations of dealing with sequences. We will begin with Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), an intuitive approach to sequence processing that has provided state-of-the-art results. We will then discuss and implement 1D convolutions as another approach and see how it compares with RNNs. We will also combine RNNs with 1D convolutions in a hybrid model. We will employ all of these models on a classic sequence processing task – stock price prediction. By the end of this chapter, you will become adept at implementing deep learning approaches for sequences, particularly plain RNNs and 1D convolutions, and you will have laid the foundations for more advanced RNN-based models.
