Overview of this book

Though designing neural networks is a sought-after skill, it is not easy to master. With Keras, you can apply complex machine learning algorithms with minimum code. Applied Deep Learning with Keras starts by taking you through the basics of machine learning and Python all the way to gaining an in-depth understanding of applying Keras to develop efficient deep learning solutions. To help you grasp the difference between machine and deep learning, the book guides you on how to build a logistic regression model, first with scikit-learn and then with Keras. You will delve into Keras and its many models by creating prediction models for various real-world scenarios, such as disease prediction and customer churning. You’ll gain knowledge on how to evaluate, optimize, and improve your models to achieve maximum information. Next, you’ll learn to evaluate your model by cross-validating it using Keras Wrapper and scikit-learn. Following this, you’ll proceed to understand how to apply L1, L2, and dropout regularization techniques to improve the accuracy of your model. To help maintain accuracy, you’ll get to grips with applying techniques including null accuracy, precision, and AUC-ROC score techniques for fine tuning your model. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to use Keras when building high-level deep neural networks.

Summary


In this chapter, we studied why we need computer vision and how it works. We understood why computer vision is one of the hottest fields in machine learning. Then, we worked with convolutional neural networks, their architecture, and how we can build CNNs in real-life applications. We also tried to improve our algorithms by adding more ANN and CNN layers and by changing activation and optimizer functions. We also tried different activation functions and loss functions. In the end, we were able to successfully classify new images of cats and dogs through the algorithm. Remember, the images of dogs and cats can be substituted with any other images, such as tigers and deer, or MRI scans of brains with and without a tumor. Any binary-classification computer-imaging problem can be solved with the same approach.

In the next chapter, we will study an even more efficient technique for working on computer vision, which is less time-consuming and easier to implement.
