Keras 2.x Projects

By: Giuseppe Ciaburro

Overview of this book

Keras 2.x Projects explains how to leverage the power of Keras to build and train state-of-the-art deep learning models through a series of practical projects that look at a range of real-world application areas. To begin with, you will quickly set up a deep learning environment by installing the Keras library. Through each of the projects, you will explore and learn the advanced concepts of deep learning and will learn how to compute and run your deep learning models using the advanced offerings of Keras. You will train fully-connected multilayer networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, autoencoders and generative adversarial networks using real-world training datasets. The projects you will undertake are all based on real-world scenarios of all complexity levels, covering topics such as language recognition, stock volatility, energy consumption prediction, faster object classification for self-driving vehicles, and more. By the end of this book, you will be well versed with deep learning and its implementation with Keras. You will have all the knowledge you need to train your own deep learning models to solve different kinds of problems.

Natural language processing

NLP aims to implement IT tools to analyze, understand, and generate texts that people can understand naturally, as if they were communicating with another human interlocutor and not a computer. By natural language, we mean the language that we use in everyday life, such as English, Chinese, or Arabic, and that's synonymous with human language, mainly to distinguish it from formal language, including computer language. Natural language is the most natural and common form of communication, not only in its spoken version, but also in its written one. Compared to formal language, natural language is much more complex and often contains implications and ambiguities, which makes it very difficult to elaborate. Two goals can be pursued: text analysis and text generation. These characteristics define the following disciplines:

  • Natural language analysis...
