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.

7. Conclusion

In this chapter, we've been introduced to DRL, a powerful technique believed by many researchers to be the most promising lead toward AI. We have gone over the principles of RL. RL is able to solve many toy problems, but the Q-table is unable to scale to more complex real-world problems. The solution is to learn the Q-table using a deep neural network. However, training deep neural networks on RL is highly unstable due to sample correlation and the non-stationarity of the target Q-network.

DQN proposed a solution to these problems using experience replay and separating the target network from the Q-network under training. DDQN suggested further improvement of the algorithm by separating the action selection from action evaluation to minimize the overestimation of the Q value. There are other improvements proposed for the DQN. Prioritized experience replay [6] argues that the experience buffer should not be sampled uniformly.

Instead, experiences that are...
