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.

Image Augmentation

The word augmentation means the action or process of making or becoming greater in size or amount. Image or data augmentation works in a similar manner. Image/data augmentation creates many batches of our images. Then, it applies random transformations to random images inside the batches. Data transformation can be rotating images, shifting them, flipping them, and so on. By applying this transformation, we get more diverse images inside the batches, and we also have much more data than we had originally.

A cylinder can be rotated from different angles and seen differently. In the following figure, a single cylinder can be seen from five different angles. So, we have effectively created five different images from a single image:

The following is some example code that we would use for image augmentation; here, the ImageDataGenerator class is used for processing. shear_range, zoom_range, and...
