Overview of this book

With information on the web exponentially increasing, it has become more difficult than ever to navigate through everything to find reliable content that will help you get started with deep learning. This book is designed to help you if you're a beginner looking to work on deep learning and build deep learning models from scratch, and you already have the basic mathematical and programming knowledge required to get started. The book begins with a basic overview of machine learning, guiding you through setting up popular Python frameworks. You will also understand how to prepare data by cleaning and preprocessing it for deep learning, and gradually go on to explore neural networks. A dedicated section will give you insights into the working of neural networks by helping you get hands-on with training single and multiple layers of neurons. Later, you will cover popular neural network architectures such as CNNs, RNNs, AEs, VAEs, and GANs with the help of simple examples, and learn how to build models from scratch. At the end of each chapter, you will find a question and answer section to help you test what you've learned through the course of the book. By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with deep learning concepts and have the knowledge you need to use specific algorithms with various tools for different tasks.

Introducing adversarial learning

Recently, there has been interest in adversarial training using adversarial neural networks (Abadi, M., et al. (2016)). This is due to adversarial neural networks that can be trained to protect the model itself from AI-based adversaries. We could categorize adversarial learning into two major branches:

  • Black box: In this category, a machine learning model exists as a black box, and the adversary can only learn to attack the black box to make it fail. The adversary arbitrarily (within some bounds) creates fake input to make the black box model fail, but it has no access to the model it is attacking (Ilyas, A., et al. (2018)).
  • Insider: This type of adversarial learning is meant to be part of the training process of the model it aims to attack. The adversary has an influence on the outcome of a model that is trained not to be fooled by such an adversary (Goodfellow, I., et al. (2014)).

There are pros and cons to each of these:
