Discover one-of-a-kind AI strategies never before seen outside of academic papers! Learn how the principles of evolutionary computation overcome deep learning's common pitfalls and deliver adaptable model upgrades without constant manual adjustment.
In Evolutionary Deep Learning you will learn how to:

  • Solve complex design and analysis problems with evolutionary computation
  • Tune deep learning hyperparameters with evolutionary computation (EC), genetic algorithms, and particle swarm optimization
  • Use unsupervised learning with a deep learning autoencoder to regenerate sample data
  • Understand the basics of reinforcement learning and the Q-Learning equation
  • Apply Q-Learning to deep learning to produce deep reinforcement learning
  • Optimize the loss function and network architecture of unsupervised autoencoders
  • Make an evolutionary agent that can play an OpenAI Gym game

  • Evolutionary Deep Learning is a guide to improving your deep learning models with AutoML enhancements based on the principles of biological evolution. This exciting new approach utilizes lesser-known AI approaches to boost performance without hours of data annotation or model hyperparameter tuning. In this one-of-a-kind guide, you'll discover tools for optimizing everything from data collection to your network architecture.

    About the technology

    Deep learning meets evolutionary biology in this incredible book. Explore how biology-inspired algorithms and intuitions amplify the power of neural networks to solve tricky search, optimization, and control problems.
