Advanced Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras - Second Edition

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. Conclusion

In this chapter, we've discussed how to disentangle the latent representations of GANs. Earlier on in the chapter, we discussed how InfoGAN maximizes the mutual information in order to force the generator to learn disentangled latent vectors. In the MNIST dataset example, the InfoGAN uses three representations and a noise code as inputs. The noise represents the rest of the attributes in the form of an entangled representation. StackedGAN approaches the problem in a different way. It uses a stack of encoder-GANs to learn how to synthesize fake features and images. The encoder is first trained to provide a dataset of features. Then, the encoder-GANs are trained jointly to learn how to use the noise code to control attributes of the generator output.

In the next chapter, we will embark on a new type of GAN that is able to generate new data in another domain. For example, given an image of a horse, the GAN can perform an automatic transformation to an...
