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.

Summary

This chapter concludes our journey into creating a deep learning model and deploying it as a web application. Our very last steps included deploying a model that predicts Bitcoin prices built using Keras and using a TensorFlow engine. We finished our work by packaging the application as a Docker container and deploying it so that others can consume the predictions of our model—as well as other applications via its API.

Aside from that work, you have also learned that there is much that can be improved. Our Bitcoin model is only an example of what a model can do (particularly LSTMs). The challenge now is two-fold: how can you make that model perform better as time passes? And, what features can you add to your web application to make your model more accessible? Good luck and keep learning!
