Setup and Introduction to Deep Learning Frameworks

At this point, you are now familiar with machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) - this is great! You should feel ready to begin making the preparations for writing and running your own programs. This chapter helps you in the process of setting up TensorFlow and Keras, and introduces their usefulness and purpose in deep learning. Dopamine is presented as the new reinforcement learning framework that we will use later on. This chapter also briefly introduces other deep learning libraries that are important to know. 

The topics that will be covered in this chapter are as follows:

• Introduction to Colaboratory
• Introduction and setup of TensorFlow
• Introduction and setup of Keras
• Introduction to PyTorch
• Introduction to Dopamine
• Other deep learning libraries
