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.

Putting it all together

We have accomplished a lot in this book. Let's do a quick recap of the projects that we have built in each chapter, as well as the neural network architecture enabling them. This section also serves as a quick refresher for the key neural network concepts that we have covered in this book.

Machine Learning and Neural Networks 101

In Chapter 1, Machine Learning and Neural Networks 101, we started off by building the simplest, one-layer neural network, known as the perceptron. At its core, the perceptron is simply a mathematical function that takes in a set of input, performs some mathematical computation, and outputs the result of the computation. For the perceptron, the mathematical computation...
