Overview of this book

Advanced Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras, Second Edition is a completely updated edition of the bestselling guide to the advanced deep learning techniques available today. Revised for TensorFlow 2.x, this edition introduces you to the practical side of deep learning with new chapters on unsupervised learning using mutual information, object detection (SSD), and semantic segmentation (FCN and PSPNet), further allowing you to create your own cutting-edge AI projects. Using Keras as an open-source deep learning library, the book features hands-on projects that show you how to create more effective AI with the most up-to-date techniques. Starting with an overview of multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), the book then introduces more cutting-edge techniques as you explore deep neural network architectures, including ResNet and DenseNet, and how to create autoencoders. You will then learn about GANs, and how they can unlock new levels of AI performance. Next, you’ll discover how a variational autoencoder (VAE) is implemented, and how GANs and VAEs have the generative power to synthesize data that can be extremely convincing to humans. You'll also learn to implement DRL such as Deep Q-Learning and Policy Gradient Methods, which are critical to many modern results in AI.

14. Conclusion

In this chapter, the concept of multi-scale single shot object detection was discussed. Using anchor boxes that are centered on the centroid of the receptive field patches, the ground truth bounding box offsets are computed. Instead of raw pixel error, normalized pixel error encourages a bounded range that is more suitable for optimization.

The ground truth class label is assigned per anchor box. If an anchor box does not overlap an object, it is assigned the background class and its offset is not included in the offset loss computation. Focal loss has been proposed to improve the category loss function. The default L1 offset loss function can be replaced by a smooth L1 loss function.

Evaluation on the test dataset shows that normalized offset using default loss functions results in the best performance for average precision and recall while mIoU is improved when offsets normalization is removed. The performance can be improved by increasing the number...
