Hands-On Neural Networks with Keras

By: Niloy Purkait

Overview of this book

Neural networks are used to solve a wide range of problems in different areas of AI and deep learning. Hands-On Neural Networks with Keras will start with teaching you about the core concepts of neural networks. You will delve into combining different neural network models and work with real-world use cases, including computer vision, natural language understanding, synthetic data generation, and many more. Moving on, you will become well versed with convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, autoencoders, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) using real-world training datasets. We will examine how to use CNNs for image recognition, how to use reinforcement learning agents, and many more. We will dive into the specific architectures of various networks and then implement each of them in a hands-on manner using industry-grade frameworks. By the end of this book, you will be highly familiar with all prominent deep learning models and frameworks, and the options you have when applying deep learning to real-world scenarios and embedding artificial intelligence as the core fabric of your organization.

Checking model accuracy

As we saw previously, we achieved a test accuracy of 88% at the last epoch of our training session. Let's have a look at what this really means, by interpreting the precision and recall scores of our classifier:

As we noticed previously, the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the total number of positive observations in our test set (otherwise known as the precision score) is pretty high at 0.98. The recall score is a bit lower and denotes the number of correctly predicted results divided by the number of results that should have been returned. Finally, the F-measure simply combines both the precision and recall scores as a harmonic mean.

To supplement our understanding, we plot out a confusion matrix of our classifier on the test set, as shown as follows. This is essentially an error matrix that lets us visualize how our model...
