Applied Deep Learning: A Case-Based Approach to Understanding Deep Neural Networks: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Applied Deep Learning: A Case-Based Approach to Understanding Deep Neural Networks" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Work with advanced topics in deep learning, such as optimization algorithms, hyper-parameter tuning, dropout, and error analysis as well as strategies to address typical problems encountered when training deep neural networks. Youll begin by studying the activation functions mostly with a single neuron (ReLu, sigmoid, and Swish), seeing how to perform linear and logistic regression using TensorFlow, and choosing the right cost function.

The next section talks about more complicated neural network architectures with several layers and neurons and explores the problem of random initialization of weights. An entire chapter is dedicated to a complete overview of neural network error analysis, giving examples of solving problems originating from variance, bias, overfitting, and datasets coming from different distributions.

Applied Deep Learning also discusses how to implement logistic regression completely from scratch without using any Python library except NumPy, to let you appreciate how libraries such as TensorFlow allow quick and efficient experiments. Case studies for each method are included to put into practice all theoretical information. Youll discover tips and tricks for writing optimized Python code (for example vectorizing loops with NumPy).

What You Will Learn

Implement advanced techniques in the right way in Python and TensorFlow

Who This Book Is For
Readers with a medium understanding of machine learning, linear algebra, calculus, and basic Python programming.

Introduction

Why another book on applied deep learning? That is the question I asked myself before starting to write this volume. After all, do a Google search on the subject, and you will be overwhelmed by the huge number of results. The problem I encountered, however, is that I found material only to implement very basic models on very simple datasets. Over and over again, the same problems, the same hints, and the same tips are offered. If you want to learn how to classify the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) dataset of ten handwritten digits, you are in luck. (Almost everyone with a blog has done that, mostly copying the code available on the TensorFlow web site). Searching for something else to learn how logistic regression works? Not so easy. How to prepare a dataset to perform an interesting binary classification? Even more difficult. I felt there was a need to fill this gap. I spent hours trying to debug models for reasons as silly as having the labels wrong. For example, instead of 0 and 1, I had 1 and 2, but no blog warned me about that. It is important to conduct a proper metric analysis when developing models, but no one teaches you how (at least not in material that is easily accessible). This gap needed to be filled. I find that covering more complex examples, from data preparation to error analysis, is a very efficient and fun way to learn the right techniques. In this book, I have always tried to cover complete and complex examples to explain concepts that are not so easy to understand in any other way. It is not possible to understand why it is important to choose the right learning rate if you dont see what can happen when you select the wrong value. Therefore, I always explain concepts with real examples and with fully fledged and tested Python code that you can reuse. Note that the goal of this book is not to make you a Python or TensorFlow expert, or someone who can develop new complex algorithms. Python and TensorFlow are simply tools that are very well suited to develop models and get results quickly. Therefore, I use them. I could have used other tools, but those are the ones most often used by practitioners, so it makes sense to choose them. If you must learn, better that it be something you can use in your own projects and for your own career.

The goal of this book is to let you see more advanced material with new eyes. I cover the mathematical background as much as I can, because I feel that it is necessary for a complete understanding of the difficulties and reasoning behind many concepts. You cannot comprehend why a large learning rate will make your model (strictly speaking, the cost function) diverge, if you dont know how the gradient descent algorithm works mathematically. In all real-life projects, you will not have to calculate partial derivatives or complex sums, but you will have to understand them to be able to evaluate what can work and what cannot (and especially why). Appreciating why a library such as TensorFlow makes your life easier is only possible if you try to develop a trivial model with one neuron from scratch. It is a very instructive thing to do, and I will show you how in Chapter . Once you have done it once, you will remember it forever, and you will really appreciate libraries such as TensorFlow.

I suggest that you really try to understand the mathematical underpinnings (although this is not strictly necessary to profit from the book), because they will allow you to fully understand many concepts that otherwise cannot be understood completely. Machine learning is a very complicated subject, and it is utopic to think that it is possible to understand it thoroughly without a good grasp of mathematics or Python. In each chapter, I highlight important tips to develop things efficiently in Python. There is no statement in this book that is not backed up by concrete examples and reproducible code. I will not discuss anything without offering related real-life examples. In this way, everything will make sense immediately, and you will remember it.

Take the time to study the code that you find in this book and try it for yourself. As every good teacher knows, learning works best when students try to resolve problems themselves. Try, make mistakes, and learn. Read a chapter, type in the code, and try to modify it. For example, in Chapter , I will show you how to perform binary classification recognition between two handwritten digits: 1 and 2. Take the code and try two different digits. Play with the code and have fun.

By design, the code that you will find in this book is written as simply as possible. It is not optimized, and I know that it is possible to write much better-performing code, but by doing so, I would have sacrificed clarity and readability. The goal of this book is not to teach you to write highly optimized Python code; it is to let you understand the fundamental concepts of the algorithms and their limitations and give you a solid basis with which to continue your learning in this field. Regardless, I will, of course, point out important Python implementation details, such as, for example, how you should avoid standard Python loops as much as possible.
