Book Description

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.

About this title

About the Author

Ivan Vasilev started working on the first open source Java deep learning library with GPU support in 2013. The library was acquired by a German company, with whom he continued its development. He has also worked as a machine learning engineer and researcher in medical image classification and segmentation with deep neural networks. Since 2017, he has focused on financial machine learning. He co-founded an algorithmic trading company, where he's the lead engineer. He holds an MSc in artificial intelligence from Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski and has written two previous books on the same topic.
