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.

Reuters Newswire Topics Classifier in Keras

Natural language processing (NLP) is the process of automatic processing of information written or spoken in a natural language using an electronic calculator. This is made particularly difficult and complex due to the intrinsic characteristics of the ambiguity of human language. When it's necessary to make the machine learn methods of interaction with the environment typical of man, the question isn't so much that of storing data, but that of letting the machine learn how this data can be translated simultaneously to create a concept. Natural language interacts with the environment generating predictive knowledge.

In this chapter, Keras layers are used to build a model to classify Reuter's newswire topics. Data is available from a dataset that contains 11,228 newswires from Reuters with 46 labeled topics. This dataset...
