Pro Deep Learning with TensorFlow is a practical and mathematical guide to deep learning using TensorFlow. Deep learning is a branch of machine learning where you model the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts. This pattern of learning is similar to the way a human brain learns, and it allows computers to model complex concepts that often go unnoticed in other traditional methods of modeling. Hence, in the modern computing paradigm, deep learning plays a vital role in modeling complex real-world problems, especially by leveraging the massive amount of unstructured data available today. Because of the complexities involved in a deep-learning model, many times it is treated as a black box by people using it. However, to derive the maximum benefit from this branch of machine learning, one needs to uncover the hidden mystery by looking at the science and mathematics associated with it. In this book, great care has been taken to explain the concepts and techniques associated with deep learning from a mathematical as well as a scientific viewpoint. Also, the first chapter is totally dedicated toward building the mathematical base required to comprehend deep-learning concepts with ease. TensorFlow has been chosen as the deep-learning package because of its flexibility for research purposes and its ease of use. Another reason for choosing TensorFlow is its capability to load models with ease in a live production environment using its serving capabilities. In summary, Pro Deep Learning with TensorFlow provides practical, hands-on expertise so you can learn deep learning from scratch and deploy meaningful deep-learning solutions. This book will allow you to get up to speed quickly using TensorFlow and to optimize different deep-learning architectures. All the practical aspects of deep learning that are relevant in any industry are emphasized in this book. You will be able to use the prototypes demonstrated to build new deep-learning applications. The code presented in the book is available in the form of iPython notebooks and scripts that allow you to try out examples and extend them in interesting ways. You will be equipped with the mathematical foundation and scientific knowledge to pursue research in this field and give back to the community.
