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.

Variational Autoencoders (VAEs)

Similar to Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) that we've discussed in the previous chapters, Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) [1] belong to the family of generative models. The generator of VAEs is able to produce meaningful outputs while navigating its continuous latent space. The possible attributes of the decoder outputs are explored through the latent vector.

In GANs, the focus is on how to arrive at a model that approximates the input distribution. VAEs attempt to model the input distribution from a decodable continuous latent space. This is one of the possible underlying reasons why GANs are able to generate more realistic signals when compared to VAEs. For example, in image generation, GANs are able to produce more realistic-looking images, while VAEs, in comparison, generate images that are less sharp.

Within VAEs, the focus is on the variational inference of latent codes. Therefore, VAEs provide a suitable framework for...
