Advanced Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras - Second Edition

By: Rowel Atienza

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.

8. Estimating the Mutual Information of a bivariate Gaussian

In this section, we validate MINE on a bivariate Gaussian distribution. Figure 13.8.1 shows a bivariate Gaussian distribution with mean and covariance:

(Equation 13.8.1)
(Equation 13.8.2)

Figure 13.8.1 A two dimensional Gaussian distribution with mean and covariance as shown in Equation 13.8.1 and Equation 13.8.2

Our goal is to estimate MI by approximating Equation 13.1.3. The approximation can be done by obtaining a huge number of samples (such as 1 million) and creating a histogram with a large number of bins (such as 100 bins). Listing 13.8.1 shows the manual computation of the MI of a bivariate Gaussian distribution using binning.

Listing 13.8.1: mine-13.8.1.py:

def sample(joint=True,
           mean=[0, 0],
           cov=[[1, 0.5], [0.5, 1]],
           n_data=1000000):
