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, you learned about cross-validation, which is one of the most important resampling methods. It results in the best estimation of model performance on independent data. This chapter covered the basics of cross-validation and its two different variations, leave-one-out and k-fold, along with a comparison of them.

Next, we covered the Keras wrapper with scikit-learn, which is a very helpful tool that allows scikit-learn methods and functions that perform cross-validation to be easily applied to Keras models. Following this, you were shown a step-by-step process of implementing cross-validation in order to evaluate Keras deep learning models using the Keras wrapper with scikit-learn.

Finally, you learned that cross-validation estimations of model performance can be used to decide between different models for a particular problem or to decide which parameters (or hyperparameters) should be used for a particular model. You practiced using cross-validation for...
