About this title

Synopsis

Take your machine learning skills to the next level by mastering Deep Learning concepts and algorithms using Python.

Key Features:

• Explore and create intelligent systems using cutting-edge deep learning techniques
• Implement deep learning algorithms and work with revolutionary libraries in Python
• Get real-world examples and easy-to-follow tutorials on Theano, TensorFlow, H2O and more

Book Description:

With an increasing interest in AI around the world, deep learning has attracted a great deal of public attention. Every day, deep learning algorithms are used broadly across different industries.

The book will give you all the practical information available on the subject, including the best practices, using real-world use cases. You will learn to recognize and extract information to increase predictive accuracy and optimize results.

Starting with a quick recap of important machine learning concepts, the book will delve straight into deep learning principles using Sci-kit learn. Moving ahead, you will learn to use the latest open source libraries such as Theano, Keras, Google's TensorFlow, and H20. Use this guide to uncover the difficulties of pattern recognition, scaling data with greater accuracy and discussing deep learning algorithms and techniques.

Whether you want to dive deeper into Deep Learning, or want to investigate how to get more out of this powerful technology, you'll find everything inside.

What You Will Learn:

• Get a practical deep dive into deep learning algorithms
• Explore deep learning further with Theano, Caffe, Keras, and TensorFlow
• Learn about two of the most powerful techniques at the core of many practical deep learning implementations: Auto-Encoders and Restricted Boltzmann Machines
• Dive into Deep Belief Nets and Deep Neural Networks
• Discover more deep learning algorithms with Dropout and Convolutional Neural Networks
• Get to know device strategies so you can use deep learning algorithms and libraries in the real world

About the Author

Valentino Zocca

Valentino Zocca graduated with a PhD in mathematics from the University of Maryland, USA, with a dissertation in symplectic geometry, after having graduated with a laurea in mathematics from the University of Rome. He spent a semester at the University of Warwick. After a post-doc in Paris, Valentino started working on hightech projects in the Washington, D.C. area and played a central role in the design, development, and realization of an advanced stereo 3D Earth visualization software with head tracking at Autometric, a company later bought by Boeing. At Boeing, he developed many mathematical algorithms and predictive models, and using Hadoop, he has also automated several satellite-imagery visualization programs. He has since become an expert on machine learning and deep learning and has worked at the U.S. Census Bureau and as an independent consultant both in the US and in Italy. He has also held seminars on the subject of machine and deep learning in Milan and New York. Currently, Valentino lives in New York and works as an independent consultant to a large financial company, where he develops econometric models and uses machine learning and deep learning to create predictive models. But he often travels back to Rome and Milan to visit his family and friends.
