Overview of this book

With the surge in artificial intelligence in applications catering to both business and consumer needs, deep learning is more important than ever for meeting current and future market demands. With this book, you’ll explore deep learning, and learn how to put machine learning to use in your projects. This second edition of Python Deep Learning will get you up to speed with deep learning, deep neural networks, and how to train them with high-performance algorithms and popular Python frameworks. You’ll uncover different neural network architectures, such as convolutional networks, recurrent neural networks, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, and capsule networks. You’ll also learn how to solve problems in the fields of computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and speech recognition. You'll study generative model approaches such as variational autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to generate images. As you delve into newly evolved areas of reinforcement learning, you’ll gain an understanding of state-of-the-art algorithms that are the main components behind popular games Go, Atari, and Dota. By the end of the book, you will be well-versed with the theory of deep learning along with its real-world applications.

The structure of a convolutional network

Before going further, let's put together everything we have learned so far. In the figure following we can see the structure of a basic CNN:

A basic convolutional network with convolutional and fully-connected layers in blue and pooling layers in green

Most CNNs share basic properties. Here are some of them:

We would typically alternate one or more convolutional layers with one pooling layer. In this way, the convolutional layers can detect features at every level of the receptive field size. The aggregated receptive field size of deeper layers is larger than the ones at the beginning of the network. This allows them to capture more complex features from larger input regions. Let's illustrate this with an example. Imagine that the network uses 3x3 convolutions with stride 1 and 2x2 pooling with stride 2:
- The neurons of the...
