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.

5. Conclusion

In this chapter, we've been introduced to autoencoders, which are neural networks that compress input data into low-dimensional representations in order to efficiently perform structural transformations, such as denoising and colorization. We've laid the foundations to the more advanced topics of GANs and VAEs, which we will introduce in later chapters. We've demonstrated how to implement an autoencoder from two building block models, both encoders and decoders. We've also learned how the extraction of a hidden structure of input distribution is one of the common tasks in AI.

Once the latent code has been learned, there are many structural operations that can be performed on the original input distribution. In order to gain a better understanding of the input distribution, the hidden structure in the form of the latent vector can be visualized using low-level embedding, similar to what we did in this chapter, or through more sophisticated...
