Overview of this book

This book offers a complete overview of Deep Learning with Theano, a Python-based library that makes optimizing numerical expressions and deep learning models easy on CPU or GPU. The book provides some practical code examples that help the beginner understand how easy it is to build complex neural networks, while more experimented data scientists will appreciate the reach of the book, addressing supervised and unsupervised learning, generative models, reinforcement learning in the fields of image recognition, natural language processing, or game strategy. The book also discusses image recognition tasks that range from simple digit recognition, image classification, object localization, image segmentation, to image captioning. Natural language processing examples include text generation, chatbots, machine translation, and question answering. The last example deals with generating random data that looks real and solving games such as in the Open-AI gym. At the end, this book sums up the best -performing nets for each task. While early research results were based on deep stacks of neural layers, in particular, convolutional layers, the book presents the principles that improved the efficiency of these architectures, in order to help the reader build new custom nets.

Chapter 1. Theano Basics

This chapter presents Theano as a compute engine and the basics for symbolic computing with Theano. Symbolic computing consists of building graphs of operations that will be optimized later on for a specific architecture, using the computation libraries available for this architecture.

Although this chapter might appear to be a long way from practical applications, it is essential to have an understanding of the technology for the following chapters; what is it capable of and what value does it bring? All the following chapters address the applications of Theano when building all possible deep learning architectures.

Theano may be defined as a library for scientific computing; it has been available since 2007 and is particularly suited to deep learning. Two important features are at the core of any deep learning library: tensor operations, and the capability to run the code on CPU or Graphical Computation Unit (GPU). These two features enable us to work with a massive amount of multi-dimensional data. Moreover, Theano proposes automatic differentiation, a very useful feature that can solve a wider range of numeric optimizations than deep learning problems.

The chapter covers the following topics:

  • Theano installation and loading
  • Tensors and algebra
  • Symbolic programming
  • Graphs
  • Automatic differentiation
  • GPU programming
  • Profiling
  • Configuration
