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.

1. Introduction to Machine Learning with Keras

Activity 1.01: Adding Regularization to the Model

In this activity, we will utilize the same logistic regression model from the scikit-learn package. This time, however, we will add regularization to the model and search for the optimum regularization parameter - a process often called hyperparameter tuning. After training the models, we will test the predictions and compare the model evaluation metrics to the ones that were produced by the baseline model and the model without regularization.

  1. Load the feature data from Exercise 1.03, Appropriate Representation of the Data, and the target data from Exercise 1.02, Cleaning the Data:
    import pandas as pd
    feats = pd.read_csv('../data/OSI_feats_e3.csv')
    target = pd.read_csv('../data/OSI_target_e2.csv')
  2. Create a test and train dataset. Train the data using the training dataset. This time, however, use part of the training dataset for validation in order to choose...
