Deep Learning with Theano

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.

Summary


This chapter concludes our overview of Deep Learning with Theano.

The first set of extensions of Theano, in Python and C for the CPU and GPU, has been exposed here to create new operators for the computation graph.

Conversion of the learned models from one framework to another is not a complicated task. Keras, a high-level library presented many times in this book as an abstraction on top of the Theano engine, offers a simple way to work with Theano and Tensorflow as well as to push the training of models in the Google ML Cloud.

Lastly, all the networks presented in this book are at the base of General Intelligence, which can use these first skills, such as vision or language understanding and generation, to learn a wider range of skills, still from experiences on real-world data or generated data.
