Neural Network Projects with Python

By: James Loy

Overview of this book

Neural networks are at the core of recent AI advances, providing some of the best resolutions to many real-world problems, including image recognition, medical diagnosis, text analysis, and more. This book goes through some basic neural network and deep learning concepts, as well as some popular libraries in Python for implementing them. It contains practical demonstrations of neural networks in domains such as fare prediction, image classification, sentiment analysis, and more. In each case, the book provides a problem statement, the specific neural network architecture required to tackle that problem, the reasoning behind the algorithm used, and the associated Python code to implement the solution from scratch. In the process, you will gain hands-on experience with using popular Python libraries such as Keras to build and train your own neural networks from scratch. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the different neural network architectures and created cutting-edge AI projects in Python that will immediately strengthen your machine learning portfolio.

Other Python libraries

Besides pandas and Keras, we will also be using other Python libraries, such as scikit-learn and seaborn. scikit-learn is an open source machine learning library that is widely used in machine learning projects. The main functionality that we use in scikit-learn is to separate our data into a training and testing set during data preprocessing. seaborn is an alternative data visualization in Python that has been gaining traction recently. In the later chapters, we'll see how we can use seaborn to make data visualizations.
