Programming Neural Networks with Python

7    Examples of Deep Neural Networks

Deep experiences are unforgettable knowledge.

In recent years, more and more network architectures have emerged that generate something such as images, text, videos, and so on. The collective term for this type of network is generative AI. Network architectures that differentiate, classify, or segment belong to discriminative AI. This chapter focuses on one representative from each of these two groups, which represent key milestones in the development of neural networks and their success.

The first network architecture is referred to as a convolutional neural network (CNN). Networks of this type are particularly good at processing images and videos. The second network architecture—the transformer neural networks ...
