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.

Improving the performance of CNNs

We now know the basics of CNNs. With this foundation, we'll discuss different techniques to improve their performance.

Data pre-processing

Until now, we've fed the network with unmodified inputs. In the case of images, these are pixel intensities in the range [0:255]. But that's not optimal. Imagine that we have an RGB image, where the intensities in one of the color channels is very high compared to the other two. When we feed the image to the network, the values of this channel will become dominant, diminishing the others. This could skew the results, because in reality every channel has equal importance. To solve this, we need to prepare (or normalize) the data, before we...
