Chapter 8 – Beating CAPTCHAs with Neural Networks

Deeper networks

These techniques will probably fool our current implementation, so improvements will need to be made to make the method better. Try some of the deeper networks we used in Chapter 11, Classifying Objects in Images Using Deep Learning.

Larger networks need more data, though, so you will probably need to generate more than the few thousand samples we did in this chapter in order to get good performance. Generating these datasets is a good candidate for parallelization—lots of small tasks that can be performed independently.
