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.

3. Deep Learning with Keras

Activity 3.01: Building a Single-Layer Neural Network for Performing Binary Classification

In this activity, we will compare the results of a logistic regression model and single-layer neural networks of different node sizes and different activation functions. The dataset we will use represents the normalized test results of aircraft propeller inspections, while the class represents whether they passed or failed a manual visual inspection. We will create models to predict the results of the manual inspection when given the automated test results. Follow these steps to complete this activity:

  1. Load all the required packages:
    # import required packages from Keras
    from keras.models import Sequential 
    from keras.layers import Dense, Activation 
    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd
    from tensorflow import random
    from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
    # import required packages for plotting
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
    import matplotlib...
