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.

Reinforcement learning basics

Reinforcement learning aims to create algorithms that can learn and adapt to environmental changes. This programming technique is based on the concept of receiving external stimuli that depend on the actions chosen by the agent. A correct choice will involve a reward, while an incorrect choice will lead to a penalty. The goal of the system is to achieve the best possible result, of course.

These mechanisms derive from the basic concepts of machine learning (ML) (learning from experience), in an attempt to simulate human behavior. In fact, in our mind, we activate brain mechanisms that lead us to chase and repeat what, in us, produce feelings of gratification and well-being. Whenever we experience moments of pleasure (for example, food, sex, and love), substances are produced in our brains that work by reinforcing that same stimulus, thus emphasizing...
