Deep Learning Models Overview
Deep learning models covered in this episode include artificial neural networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, self-organizing maps, Boltzmann machines, and autoencoders. Each model is explained in detail regarding its structure, functionality, and practical applications.
Artificial Neural Networks
Artificial neural networks mimic the human brain's structure with interconnected neurons. They break linearity to solve nonlinear problems and consist of input, hidden, and output layers. The activation function assigns relevance to neurons based on weights, aiding in learning and creating complex correlations for predictions.
Convolutional Neural Networks
CNNs are mainly used for image detection by recognizing patterns in pixels to detect specific features. Applications extend to text recognition and video classification. Combining CNNs with RNNs enhances model performance, especially in self-driving car technologies.
Recurrent Neural Networks
RNNs exhibit short-term memory within the neural network, aiding in analyzing sequences of data. Used in natural language processing and video classification, RNNs can predict next steps in a series of events. LSTMs within RNNs offer long-term memory capabilities for more sophisticated problem-solving.
Unsupervised Deep Learning Models
Models like self-organizing maps detect features in complex data sets without dependent variables and transition to supervised learning. Boltzmann machines employ energy-based models to simulate scenarios and explore possibilities not present in training data. Autoencoders focus on self-supervision, generating inputs as outputs to reconstruct data effectively.
PyTorch vs. TensorFlow
PyTorch and TensorFlow offer powerful deep learning capabilities, with PyTorch excelling in handling dynamic graphs and practical implementations, while TensorFlow with Keras provides simplicity for beginners with straightforward model development. Both libraries are recommended for mastering deep learning with a focus on understanding different architectures and functions to solve complex problems.
In this episode of the SuperDataScience Podcast, I chat with the Deep Learning Expert Hadelin de Ponteves. You will be able to have a look at the 6 supervised and unsupervised deep learning models, learn why deep learning instead of machine learning, and discover TensorFlow and PyTorch as the two major tools in Deep Learning.
