Key benefits

Discover various GAN architectures using a Python and Keras library
Understand how GAN models function with the help of theoretical and practical examples
Apply your learnings to become an active contributor to open source GAN applications

Description

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have revolutionized the fields of machine learning and deep learning. This book will be your first step toward understanding GAN architectures and tackling the challenges involved in training them. This book opens with an introduction to deep learning and generative models and their applications in artificial intelligence (AI). You will then learn how to build, evaluate, and improve your first GAN with the help of easy-to-follow examples. The next few chapters will guide you through training a GAN model to produce and improve high-resolution images. You will also learn how to implement conditional GANs that enable you to control characteristics of GAN output. You will build on your knowledge further by exploring a new training methodology for progressive growing of GANs. Moving on, you'll gain insights into state-of-the-art models in image synthesis, speech enhancement, and natural language generation using GANs. In addition to this, you'll be able to identify GAN samples with TequilaGAN. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with the latest advancements in the GAN framework using various examples and datasets, and you will have developed the skills you need to implement GAN architectures for several tasks and domains, including computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and audio processing. Foreword by Ting-Chun Wang, Senior Research Scientist, NVIDIA

Mike H. May 29, 2019

The book holds promise but suffers from several major issues. First of all is the quality is the editorial. This author LOVES their commas. They use what seems like an average of three commas per sentence making those sentences unnecessarily long and often difficult to follow.My other complaint is that the beginning of the book states, in several places, that you only need a general, rudimentary understanding of python as a prerequisite, then launches into graduate level mathematics throughout the entire first half of the book. There is only an exceedingly brief overview of introductory NN concepts like in other books I've read, not enough for someone just starting out to grasp the concepts. This sort of negates the author's insistence in the beginning that you don't need much experience or advanced education in the field to understand the concepts presented.None of the information provided in the book is immediately applicable and it is written for the most part as if lifted straight out of an academic journal. So much of this book is written like that: terribly academic, boring to read, hard to follow, and not as practical as others in this subject (I've read over a dozen on this topic alone).There are also several misprints leading to certain formulas being unreadable and several typos I've found in the text. The code examples are not the easiest to follow compared to other books, even for an experienced developer like myself, because of the way they are presented and described (most of the time there is actually very little explanation as to what is going on in the code). For example, there is no (or very little) description as to why certain things are handled and instantiated in a certain way as presented.Lastly, the graphs and images reference colors in certain segments but they are all printed in black and white - this is a common problem with books published by Pact I've found and not necessarily the author's fault.Overall, it is a hard book to get through, even for this type of material which can be very technical. It is dry, formulaic, academic, and not nearly as practical or easy to follow as others I've read. It feels more like a graduate thesis sometimes than a practical resource for developers and people just starting out in this field. There are far better, and more practical, options available out there for those of you who haven't yet completed a Master's degree in mathematics.

0 Stars.I expected I would learn how to build my own model.You only use the examples from GitHub, and these don't work.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
