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.

Stock Volatility Forecasting Using Long Short-Term Memory

Human beings have always tried to predict the future. Forecasting has been, therefore, one of the most studied techniques over time. Forecasts cover several fields—weather forecasts, economic and political events, sports results, and more. Since we try to predict so many different events, there are a variety of ways in which predictions can be developed.

A time series is a sequence of observations ordered with respect to time (for example, monthly turnover, the daily prices of shares, the weekly interest rate, the annual profits, and so on). The purpose of the analysis of time series consists of the study of the past evolution of the phenomenon with respect to time, in order to predict the future trend of the phenomenon. The forecast is obtained by hypothesizing that such behavioral regularities will repeat in the...
