About this title

Synopsis

Develop Bayesian Deep Learning models to help make your own applications more robust.

Key Features

• Gain insights into the limitations of typical neural networks
• Acquire the skill to cultivate neural networks capable of estimating uncertainty
• Discover how to leverage uncertainty to develop more robust machine learning systems

Book Description

Deep learning has an increasingly significant impact on our lives, from suggesting content to playing a key role in mission- and safety-critical applications. As the influence of these algorithms grows, so does the concern for the safety and robustness of the systems which rely on them. Simply put, typical deep learning methods do not know when they don’t know.

The field of Bayesian Deep Learning contains a range of methods for approximate Bayesian inference with deep networks. These methods help to improve the robustness of deep learning systems as they tell us how confident they are in their predictions, allowing us to take more in how we incorporate model predictions within our applications.

Through this book, you will be introduced to the rapidly growing field of uncertainty-aware deep learning, developing an understanding of the importance of uncertainty estimation in robust machine learning systems. You will learn about a variety of popular Bayesian Deep Learning methods, and how to implement these through practical Python examples covering a range of application scenarios.

By the end of the book, you will have a good understanding of Bayesian Deep Learning and its advantages, and you will be able to develop Bayesian Deep Learning models for safer, more robust deep learning systems.

What you will learn

• Understand advantages and disadvantages of Bayesian inference and deep learning
• Understand the fundamentals of Bayesian Neural Networks
• Understand the differences between key BNN implementations/approximations
• Understand the advantages of probabilistic DNNs in production contexts
• How to implement a variety of BDL methods in Python code
• How to apply BDL methods to real-world problems
