Practical Convolutional Neural Networks

Preface

CNNs are revolutionizing several application domains, such as visual recognition systems, self-driving cars, medical discoveries, innovative e-commerce, and many more. This book gets you started with the building blocks of CNNs, while also guiding you through the best practices for implementing real-life CNN models and solutions. You will learn to create innovative solutions for image and video analytics to solve complex machine learning and computer vision problems.

This book starts with an overview of deep neural networks, with an example of image classification, and walks you through building your first CNN model. You will learn concepts such as transfer learning and autoencoders with CNN that will enable you to build very powerful ...
