Keras 2.x Projects

By: Giuseppe Ciaburro

Overview of this book

Keras 2.x Projects explains how to leverage the power of Keras to build and train state-of-the-art deep learning models through a series of practical projects that look at a range of real-world application areas. To begin with, you will quickly set up a deep learning environment by installing the Keras library. Through each of the projects, you will explore and learn the advanced concepts of deep learning and will learn how to compute and run your deep learning models using the advanced offerings of Keras. You will train fully-connected multilayer networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, autoencoders and generative adversarial networks using real-world training datasets. The projects you will undertake are all based on real-world scenarios of all complexity levels, covering topics such as language recognition, stock volatility, energy consumption prediction, faster object classification for self-driving vehicles, and more. By the end of this book, you will be well versed with deep learning and its implementation with Keras. You will have all the knowledge you need to train your own deep learning models to solve different kinds of problems.

Defining a regression problem

Regression analysis is the starting point in data science. This is because regression models represent the most well-understood models in numerical simulation. Once we experience the workings of regression models, we will be able to understand all other machine learning algorithms. Regression models are easily interpretable as they are based on solid mathematical bases (such as matrix algebra, for example). In the following sections, we will see that linear regression allows us to derive a mathematical formula that's representative of the corresponding model. Perhaps this is why such techniques are extremely easy to understand.

Regression analysis is a statistical process that's implemented to study the relationship between a set of independent variables (explanatory variables) and the dependent variable (response variable). Through this...
