#Hands-On Transfer Learning with Python

This is the code repository for Hands-On Transfer Learning with Python, published by Packt.

Implement advanced deep learning and neural network models using TensorFlow and Keras

What is this book about?

Transfer learning is a machine learning (ML) technique where knowledge gained during training a set of problems can be used to solve other similar problems.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Set up your own DL environment with graphics processing unit (GPU) and Cloud support
• Delve into transfer learning principles with ML and DL models
• Explore various DL architectures, including CNN, LSTM, and capsule networks
• Learn about data and network representation and loss functions
• Get to grips with models and strategies in transfer learning
