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.

Pattern recognition using a Keras neural network

Heart diseases are often underestimated, but, in reality, they are the leading cause of death in the world. Among them, coronary artery disease (CAD) accounts for about a third of all deaths worldwide in people over 35 years of age. CAD is the result of arteriosclerosis, which consists in the narrowing of the blood vessels and the hardening of its walls. In some cases, CAD can completely block the influx of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, causing a heart attack.

CAD is caused by an accumulation of waxy grease deposits on the inner walls of the arteries. These deposits consist of cholesterol, calcium, and other substances that travel in the blood; the product of their accumulation is called atherosclerotic plaque. This plaque can clog the coronary arteries and make them rigid and irregular, causing the so-called hardening...
