Riassunto

Apply modern deep learning techniques to build and train deep neural networks using Gorgonia

Key Features

• Gain a practical understanding of deep learning using Golang
• Build complex neural network models using Go libraries and Gorgonia
• Take your deep learning model from design to deployment with this handy guide

Book Description

Go is an open source programming language designed by Google for handling large-scale projects efficiently. The Go ecosystem comprises some really powerful deep learning tools such as DQN and CUDA. With this book, you'll be able to use these tools to train and deploy scalable deep learning models from scratch.

This deep learning book begins by introducing you to a variety of tools and libraries available in Go. It then takes you through building neural networks, including activation functions and the learning algorithms that make neural networks tick. In addition to this, you'll learn how to build advanced architectures such as autoencoders, restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and more. You'll also understand how you can scale model deployments on the AWS cloud infrastructure for training and inference.

By the end of this book, you'll have mastered the art of building, training, and deploying deep learning models in Go to solve real-world problems.

What you will learn

• Explore the Go ecosystem of libraries and communities for deep learning
• Get to grips with Neural Networks, their history, and how they work
• Design and implement Deep Neural Networks in Go
• Get a strong foundation of concepts such as Backpropagation and Momentum
• Build Variational Autoencoders and Restricted Boltzmann Machines using Go
• Build models with CUDA and benchmark CPU and GPU models
