Overview of this book

Keras has quickly emerged as a popular deep learning library. Written in Python, it allows you to train convolutional as well as recurrent neural networks with speed and accuracy. The Keras Deep Learning Cookbook shows you how to tackle different problems encountered while training efficient deep learning models, with the help of the popular Keras library. Starting with installing and setting up Keras, the book demonstrates how you can perform deep learning with Keras in the TensorFlow. From loading data to fitting and evaluating your model for optimal performance, you will work through a step-by-step process to tackle every possible problem faced while training deep models. You will implement convolutional and recurrent neural networks, adversarial networks, and more with the help of this handy guide. In addition to this, you will learn how to train these models for real-world image and language processing tasks. By the end of this book, you will have a practical, hands-on understanding of how you can leverage the power of Python and Keras to perform effective deep learning

LSTM networks for time series data


In this recipe, we will learn what LSTM networks are and how can they be leveraged to better predict time series data with long-term memory characteristics.

LSTM networks

LSTM is designed to avoid the long-term dependency problem. It remembers the information for a longer period of time.

All recurrent neural networks have the form of a chain of repeating modules of a neural network. In standard RNNs, this repeating module will have a very simple structure, such as a single tanh layer. LSTMs also have this chain-like structure, but the repeating module has a different structure.

There are four layers, interacting in a very special way, as shown in the following diagram:

We will not go into more detail on how an LSTM works, but focus on how it is used in Keras.

LSTM memory example

In this recipe, we will learn, with a simple example, how an LSTM network remembers the value in a step from the distant...
