Christopher Bourez

Christopher Bourez graduated from Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Normale Suprieure de Cachan in Paris in 2005 with a Master of Science in Math, Machine Learning and Computer Vision (MVA). For 7 years, he led a company in computer vision that launched Pixee, a visual recognition application for iPhone in 2007, with the major movie theater brand, the city of Paris and the major ticket broker: with a snap of a picture, the user could get information about events, products, and access to purchase. While working on missions in computer vision with Caffe, TensorFlow or Torch, he helped other developers succeed by writing on a blog on computer science. One of his blog posts, a tutorial on the Caffe deep learning technology, has become the most successful tutorial on the web after the official Caffe website. On the initiative of Packt Publishing, the same recipes that made the success of his Caffe tutorial have been ported to write this book on Theano technology. In the meantime, a wide range of problems for Deep Learning are studied to gain more practice with Theano and its application.

Visualizing the learned embeddings


Let us visualize the embedding in a 2D figure in order to get an understanding of how well they capture similarity and semantics. For that purpose, we need to reduce the number of dimension of the embedding, which is highly dimensional, to two dimensions without altering the structure of the embeddings.

Reducing the number of dimension is called manifold learning, and many different techniques exist, some of them linear, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Latent Sementic Analysis / Indexing (LSA / LSI), and some are non-linear, such as Isomap, Locally Linear Embedding (LLE), Hessian Eigenmapping, Spectral embedding, Local tangent space embedding, Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS), and t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE).

To display the word embedding, let us use t-SNE, a great technique adapted to high dimensional data to reveal local structures and clusters...
