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.

Preface

Confusion Matrix

A confusion matrix describes the performance of the classification model. In other words, a confusion matrix is a way to summarize classifier performance. The following table shows a basic representation of a confusion matrix and represents how the predicted results by the model compared to the true values:

Let's go over the meanings of the abbreviations that were used in the preceding table:

  • TN (True negative): This is the count of outcomes that were originally negative and were predicted negative.
  • FP (False positive): This is the count of outcomes that were originally negative but were predicted positive. This error is also called a type 1 error.
  • FN (False negative): This is the count of outcomes that were originally positive but were predicted negative. This error is also called a type 2 error.
  • TP (True positive): This is the count of outcomes that were originally...
