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.

Compiling and training the model


Now that the model is defined, it is ready to be compiled. To compile the model in Keras, we need to determine the optimizer, the loss function, and optionally the evaluation metrics. As we mentioned previously, the problem is to predict if the tweet is positive, negative, or neutral. This problem is known as a multi-category classification problem. Thus, the loss (or the objective) function that will be used in this example is the categorical_crossentropy. We will use the rmsprop optimizer and the accuracy evaluation metric.

In Keras, you can find state-of-the-art optimizers, objectives, and evaluation metrics implemented. Compiling the model in Keras is very easy using the compile function:

model.compile(optimizer='rmsprop',
          loss='categorical_crossentropy',
          metrics=['accuracy'])

We have defined the model and compiled it, and it is now ready to be trained. We can train or fit the model on the defined data by calling the fit function.
