Overview of this book

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.

Chapter 8. Reinforcement Learning Theory

You may have read sci-fi novels from the 50s and 60s; they are full of visions of what life in the 21st century would look like. These stories imagined a world of people with personal jet packs, underwater cities, intergalactic travel, flying cars, and truly intelligent robots capable of independent thought. The 21st century has arrived now; sadly, we are not going to get those flying cars, but thanks to deep learning, we may get the robot.

In Chapter 9, Deep Reinforcement Learning for Games, and Chapter 10, Deep Learning in autonomous Vehicles, we'll talk about Reinforcement learning (RL) – a way to make machines interact with an environment, similar to the way we people interact with the physical world. As with many of the algorithms discussed so far, RL is not a new concept. But, recently, the field has seen something of a resurgence, in no small part thanks to the successes of deep learning. Indeed, we'll later see how integrating deep networks...
