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.

Summary

In this chapter, we introduced some new and advanced computer vision techniques. We started with transfer learning, which is a way to bootstrap network training by using pre-trained models. Next, we discussed some of the popular neural network architectures in use today. Then, we talked about capsule networks, which are a promising new approach to computer vision. After that, we moved on to tasks beyond objects classification, such as object detection and semantic segmentation. And finally, we introduced neural style transfer.

In the next chapter, we'll explore a new type of ML algorithms, called generative models. We can use them to generate new content, such as images. Stay tuned, it will be fun!
