Overview of this book

New experiences can be intimidating, but not this one! This beginner’s guide to deep learning is here to help you explore deep learning from scratch with Keras, and be on your way to training your first ever neural networks. What sets Keras apart from other deep learning frameworks is its simplicity. With over two hundred thousand users, Keras has a stronger adoption in industry and the research community than any other deep learning framework. The Deep Learning with Keras Workshop starts by introducing you to the fundamental concepts of machine learning using the scikit-learn package. After learning how to perform the linear transformations that are necessary for building neural networks, you'll build your first neural network with the Keras library. As you advance, you'll learn how to build multi-layer neural networks and recognize when your model is underfitting or overfitting to the training data. With the help of practical exercises, you’ll learn to use cross-validation techniques to evaluate your models and then choose the optimal hyperparameters to fine-tune their performance. Finally, you’ll explore recurrent neural networks and learn how to train them to predict values in sequential data. By the end of this book, you'll have developed the skills you need to confidently train your own neural network models.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered the various types of linear algebra components and operations that pertain to machine learning. These components include scalars, vectors, matrices, and tensors. The operations that were applied to these tensors included addition, transposition, and multiplication—all of which are fundamental for understanding the underlying mathematics of ANNs.

We also learned some of the basics of the Keras package, including the mathematics that occurs at each node. We replicated the model from the previous chapter, in which we built a logistic regression model to predict the same target from the online shopping purchasing intention dataset. However, in this chapter, we used the Keras library to create the model using an ANN instead of the scikit-learn logistic regression model. We achieved a similar level of accuracy using ANNs.

The upcoming chapters of this book will use the same concepts we learned about in this chapter; however, we will continue...
