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.

4. Automatic colorization autoencoder

We're now going to work on another practical application of autoencoders. In this case, we're going to imagine that we have a grayscale photo and that we want to build a tool that will automatically add color to it. We would like to replicate the human abilities in identifying that the sea and sky are blue, the grass field and trees are green, while the clouds are white, and so on.

As shown in Figure 3.4.1, if we are given a grayscale photo (left) of a rice field in the foreground, a volcano in the background, and sky on the top, we're able to add the appropriate colors (right).

Figure 3.4.1: Adding color to a grayscale photo of the Mayon Volcano. A colorization network should replicate human abilities by adding color to a grayscale photo. The left photo is grayscale. The right photo is color. The original color photo can be found in this book's GitHub repository at, https://github.com/PacktPublishing...
