Applied Deep Learning with Python

Overview of this book

Taking an approach that uses the latest developments in the Python ecosystem, you’ll first be guided through the Jupyter ecosystem, key visualization libraries and powerful data sanitization techniques before you train your first predictive model. You’ll then explore a variety of approaches to classification such as support vector networks, random decision forests and k-nearest neighbors to build on your knowledge before moving on to advanced topics. After covering classification, you’ll go on to discover ethical web scraping and interactive visualizations, which will help you professionally gather and present your analysis. Next, you’ll start building your keystone deep learning application, one that aims to predict the future price of Bitcoin based on historical public data. You’ll then be guided through a trained neural network, which will help you explore common deep learning network architectures (convolutional, recurrent, and generative adversarial networks) and deep reinforcement learning. Later, you’ll delve into model optimization and evaluation. You’ll do all this while working on a production-ready web application that combines TensorFlow and Keras to produce meaningful user-friendly results. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to tackle and develop your own real-world deep learning projects confidently and effectively.

Handling New Data

Models can be trained once in a set of data and can then be used to make predictions. Such static models can be very useful, but it is often the case that we want our model to continuously learn from new data—and to continuously get better as it does so.

In this section, we will discuss two strategies on how to re-train a deep learning model and how to implement them in Python.

Separating Data and Model

When building a deep learning application, the two most important areas are data and model. From an architectural point of view, we suggest that these two areas be separate. We believe that is a good suggestion because each of these areas include functions inherently separated from each other. Data...
