A hands-on guide to deep learning thats filled with intuitive explanations and engaging practical examples
Key FeaturesDesigned to iteratively develop the skills of Python users who dont have a data science background
Covers the key foundational concepts youll need to know when building deep learning systems
Full of step-by-step exercises and activities to help build the skills that you need for the real-world
Book DescriptionTaking an approach that uses the latest developments in the Python ecosystem, youll first be guided through the Jupyter ecosystem, key visualization libraries and powerful data sanitization techniques before we train our first predictive model. Well explore a variety of approaches to classification like support vector networks, random decision forests and k-nearest neighbours to build out your understanding before we move into more complex territory. Its okay if these terms seem overwhelming; well show you how to put them to work.
Well build upon our classification coverage by taking a quick look at ethical web scraping and interactive visualizations to help you professionally gather and present your analysis. Its after this that we start building out our keystone deep learning application, one that aims to predict the future price of Bitcoin based on historical public data.
By guiding you through a trained neural network, well explore common deep learning network architectures (convolutional, recurrent, generative adversarial) and branch out into deep reinforcement learning before we dive into model optimization and evaluation. Well do all of this whilst working on a production-ready web application that combines Tensorflow and Keras to produce a meaningful user-friendly result, leaving you with all the skills you need to tackle and develop your own real-world deep learning projects confidently and effectively.
What you will learnDiscover how you can assemble and clean your very own datasets
