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.

Summary

In this chapter, an overview of the Keras environment has been explored. We have learned how to install and configure Keras and how to work with the keras library, and have discovered the basic concepts of the Keras architecture. We have also seen how Keras uses TensorFlow as its tensor manipulation library, how we can switch the Keras backend from TensorFlow, which is the default option, to Theano and CNTK, and other available frameworks. Finally, we have understood the different types of Keras model, and we discussed model classes used with sequential layers and those used with functional API layers.

In the next chapter, you will learn the different types of regression techniques and how to apply regression methods to your data, and will understand how the regression algorithm works. We will understand the basic concepts that multiple linear regression methods use to fit equations to data using Keras layers. We will also learn how to evaluate the model's performance, and learn how to tune a model to improve its performance.
