Overview of this book

Though designing neural networks is a sought-after skill, it is not easy to master. With Keras, you can apply complex machine learning algorithms with minimum code. Applied Deep Learning with Keras starts by taking you through the basics of machine learning and Python all the way to gaining an in-depth understanding of applying Keras to develop efficient deep learning solutions. To help you grasp the difference between machine and deep learning, the book guides you on how to build a logistic regression model, first with scikit-learn and then with Keras. You will delve into Keras and its many models by creating prediction models for various real-world scenarios, such as disease prediction and customer churning. You’ll gain knowledge on how to evaluate, optimize, and improve your models to achieve maximum information. Next, you’ll learn to evaluate your model by cross-validating it using Keras Wrapper and scikit-learn. Following this, you’ll proceed to understand how to apply L1, L2, and dropout regularization techniques to improve the accuracy of your model. To help maintain accuracy, you’ll get to grips with applying techniques including null accuracy, precision, and AUC-ROC score techniques for fine tuning your model. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to use Keras when building high-level deep neural networks.

Summary


In this chapter, we have covered the various types of linear algebra components and operations that pertain to machine learning. The components include scalars, vectors, matrices, and tensors. The operations that were applied to these tensors included addition, transposition, and multiplication, all of which are fundamental for understanding the underlying mathematics of ANNs.

We also learned some basics of the Keras package, including the mathematics that occurs at each node. We also replicated the model from the first chapter, in which we built a logistic regression model to predict the same target from the bank data; however, we used the Keras library to create the model using an ANN instead of the scikit-learn logistic regression model. We achieved a similar level of accuracy using ANNs.

The next chapters in this book will use the same concepts learned in this chapter; however, we will continue building ANNs with the Keras package. We will extend our ANNs to more than a single...
