Simeon Kostadinoff works for a startup called Speechify which aims to help people go through their readings faster by converting any text into speech. Simeon is Machine Learning enthusiast who writes a blog and works on various projects on the side. He enjoys reading different research papers and implement some of them in code. He was ranked number 1 in mathematics during his senior year of high school and thus he has deep passion about understanding how the deep learning models work under the hood. His specific knowledge in Recurrent Neural Networks comes from several courses that he has taken at Stanford University and University of Birmingham. They helped in understanding how to apply his theoretical knowledge into practice and build powerful models. In addition, he recently became a Stanford Scholar Initiative which includes working in a team of Machine Learning researchers on a specific deep learning research paper.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered a lot of new and exciting approaches for optimizing your model's performance, both on a general level, and specifically, using the TensorFlow library. 

The first part covered techniques for improving your RNN performance by selecting, processing, and transforming your data, as well as tuning your hyperparameters. You also learned how to understand your model in more depth, and now know what should be done to make it work better. 

The second part was specifically focused on practical ways of improving your model's performance using the built-in TensorFlow functions. The team at TensorFlow seeks to make it as easy as possible for you to quickly achieve the results you want by providing distributed environments and optimization techniques with just a few lines of code. 

Combining both of the techniques covered in this...
