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.

Recurrent neural networks

Feedforward neural networks are based on input data that is powered to the network and converted into output. If it is a supervised learning algorithm, the output is a label that can recognize the input. Basically, these algorithms connect raw data to specific categories by recognizing patterns. Recurrent networks, on the other hand, take as input not only the current input data that is powered to the network, but also what they have experienced over time.

A recurrent neural network (RNN) is a neural model in which a bidirectional flow of information is present. In other words, while the propagation of signals in feedforward networks takes place only in a continuous manner in one direction from inputs to outputs, recurrent networks are different. In recurrent networks, this propagation can also occur from a neural layer following a previous one, between...
