Unsupervised-Machine-Learning Flat Clustering

K-Means clusternig example with Python and Scikit-learn

Flat clustering

Clustering algorithms group a set of documents into subsets or clusters . The algorithms’ goal is to create clusters that are coherent internally, but clearly different from each other. In other words, documents within a cluster should be as similar as possible; and documents in one cluster should be as dissimilar as possible from documents in other clusters.

Hierarchical

Hierarchical clustering is where the machine is allowed to decide how many clusters to create based on its own algorithms.

Should You Go to Grad School for Artificial Intelligence?

Should you go to graduate school for artificial intelligence? As a physics PhD I have some insights for you that you may not have heard elsewhere.

Graduate school is immensely rewarding, yet also incredibly difficult intellectually and emotionally. You’ll have to deal with solving novel and complex problems, as well as learning how to deal with sacrificing your social life.

Learn about how to choose your PhD committee as well as how to get things done in the face of immense pressure.

Dueling Deep Q Learning with Tensorflow 2 & Keras

Dueling Deep Q Learning is easier than ever with Tensorflow 2 and Keras. In this tutorial for deep reinforcement learning beginners we’ll code up the dueling deep q network and agent from scratch, with no prior experience needed. We’ll train an agent to land a spacecraft on the surface of the moon, using the lunar lander environment from the OpenAI Gym.

The dueling network can be applied to both regular and double q learning, as it’s just a new network architecture. It doesn’t require any change to the q learning or double q learning algorithms. We simply have to change up our feed forward to accommodate the new value and advantage streams, and combine them in a way that makes sense.

Everything You Need To Master Actor Critic Methods | Tensorflow 2 Tutorial

In this brief tutorial you’re going to learn the fundamentals of deep reinforcement learning, and the basic concepts behind actor critic methods. We’ll cover the Markov decision process, the agent’s policy, reward discounting and why it’s necessary, and the actor critic algorithm. We’ll implement an actor critic algorithm using Tensorflow 2 to handle the cart pole environment from the Open AI Gym.

Actor critic methods form the basis for more advanced algorithms such as deep deterministic policy gradients, soft actor critic, and twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradients, among others.

Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients (DDPG) | Tensorflow 2 Tutorial

Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients (DDPG) is an actor critic algorithm designed for use in environments with continuous action spaces. This makes it great for fields like robotics, that rely on applying continuous voltages to electric motors. You’ll get a crash course with a quick lecture, followed by a live coding tutorial.

Despite being an actor critic method, DDPG makes use of a number of innovations from deep Q learning. We’re going to make use of a replay memory for training our agent, as well as target actor and target critic networks for learning stability. One key difference is that DDPG uses a soft update rule for the target network parameters, rather than a direct hard copy of the online networks.

In this tutorial we’re going to use Tensorflow 2 to implement a deep deterministic policy gradient agent in the pendulum environment from the Open AI gym.

Soft Actor Critic (SAC) in Tensorflow2

The Soft Actor Critic Algorithm is a powerful tool for solving cutting edge deep reinforcement learning problems involving continuous action space environments. It’s a variation of the actor critic method that leverages a maximum entropy framework, double Q networks, and target value networks.

The entropy is modeled by scaling the reward factor, with an inverse relationship between the reward scale and the entropy of our agent. Larger reward scaling means more deterministic behavior, and a larger reward scale means more stochastic behavior.

We’re going to implement this algorithm using the tensorflow 2 framework, and test it out on the Inverted Pendulum environment found in the PyBullet package.

Scraping Images Using Selenium

In this small and simple use-case, we explore how to use Selenium to scrap images from Google Chrome for any keyword (or set of keywords) searched by a user.

Aim

• Our program should take any keyword (For Example: “cat”) from the user, along with the number of images needed, and scrap that many images from Google Images on the Chrome browser.
• The images must be stored in a folder, named after the search term, and should be numbered properly so as to make them easy to access and interpret.

Program Flow

1. Firstly, our program should accept a search term and number of images that are to be scraped.
2. The program should check if a folder with the same name as the search term already exists or not. If it doesn’t then it should create one.
3. Our program should then open the Google Images page for that particular search term.
4. It should then click on each image and extract its URL which can be used for scraping and saving the image later. It should extract as many URLs as specified.
5. If the webpage doesn’t have that many images, it should click on the “Load More” button to go to the next page
6. Once the list of URLs is created, the program should hit every URL, download the image there and save it in the folder created.

Advanced Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras

Advanced Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras (Updated for 2nd Edition)

This is the code repository for Advanced Deep Learning with TensoFlow 2 and Keras, published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the book from start to finish.

Please note that the code examples have been updated to support TensorFlow 2.0 Keras API only.

About the Book

Advanced Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras, Second Edition is a completely updated edition of the bestselling guide to the advanced deep learning techniques available today. Revised for TensorFlow 2.x, this edition introduces you to the practical side of deep learning with new chapters on unsupervised learning using mutual information, object detection (SSD), and semantic segmentation (FCN and PSPNet), further allowing you to create your own cutting-edge AI projects.

Using Keras as an open-source deep learning library, the book features hands-on projects that show you how to create more effective AI with the most up-to-date techniques.

Starting with an overview of multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), the book then introduces more cutting-edge techniques as you explore deep neural network architectures, including ResNet and DenseNet, and how to create autoencoders. You will then learn about GANs, and how they can unlock new levels of AI performance.

Next, you’ll discover how a variational autoencoder (VAE) is implemented, and how GANs and VAEs have the generative power to synthesize data that can be extremely convincing to humans. You’ll also learn to implement DRL such as Deep Q-Learning and Policy Gradient Methods, which are critical to many modern results in AI.

Installation

It is recommended to run within conda enviroment. Pls download Anacoda from: Anaconda. To install anaconda:

sh <name-of-downloaded-Anaconda3-installer>

A machine with at least 1 NVIDIA GPU (1060 or better) is required. The code examples have been tested on 1060, 1080Ti, RTX 2080Ti, V100, RTX Quadro 8000 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Below is a rough guide to install NVIDIA driver and CuDNN to enable GPU support.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

sudo apt update

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

sudo reboot

nvidia-smi

At the time of writing, nvidia-smishows the NVIDIA driver version is 440.64 and CUDA version is 10.2.

We are almost there. The last set of packages must be installed as follows. Some steps might require sudo access.

conda create --name packt

conda activate packt

cd <github-dir>

git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Advanced-Deep-Learning-with-Keras

cd Advanced-Deep-Learning-with-Keras

pip install -r requirements.txt

sudo apt-get install python-pydot

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Test if a simple model can be trained without errors:

cd chapter1-keras-quick-tour

python3 mlp-mnist-1.3.2.py

The final output shows the accuracy of the trained model on MNIST test dataset is about 98.2%.

Alternative TensorFlow Installation

If you are having problems with CUDA libraries (ie tf could not load or find libcudart.so.10.X), TensorFlow and CUDA libraries can be installed together using conda:

pip uninstall tensorflow-gpu
