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.

3. -VAE – VAE with disentangled latent representations

In Chapter 6, Disentangled Representation GANs, the concept and importance of the disentangled representation of latent codes were discussed. We can recall that a disentangled representation is where single latent units are sensitive to changes in single generative factors while being relatively invariant to changes in other factors [3]. Varying a latent code results in changes in one attribute of the generated output, while the remainder of the properties remain the same.

In the same chapter, InfoGAN [4] demonstrated to us that for the MNIST dataset, it is possible to control which digit to generate and the tilt and thickness of the writing style. Observing the results in the previous section, it can be noticed that the VAE is intrinsically disentangling the latent vector dimensions to a certain extent. For example, looking at digit 8 in Figure 8.2.6, navigating z[1] from top to bottom decreases the width and roundness...
