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.

2. Implementing DCGAN in Keras

Figure 4.2.1 shows DCGAN that is used to generate fake MNIST images:

Figure 4.2.1: A DCGAN model

DCGAN implements the following design principles:

  • Use strides > 1, and a convolution instead of MaxPooling2D or UpSampling2D. With strides > 1, the CNN learns how to resize the feature maps.
  • Avoid using Dense layers. Use CNN in all layers. The Dense layer is utilized only as the first layer of the generator to accept the z-vector. The output of the Dense layer is resized and becomes the input of the succeeding CNN layers.
  • Use Batch Normalization (BN) to stabilize learning by normalizing the input to each layer to have zero mean and unit variance. There is no BN in the generator output layer and discriminator input layer. In the implementation example to be presented here, no batch normalization is used in the discriminator.
  • Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) is used in all layers of the generator except...
