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.

4. Evaluating Your Model with Cross-Validation Using Keras Wrappers

Activity 4.01: Model Evaluation Using Cross-Validation for an Advanced Fibrosis Diagnosis Classifier

In this activity, we are going to use what we learned in this topic to train and evaluate a deep learning model using k-fold cross-validation. We will use the model that resulted in the best test error rate from the previous activity and the goal will be to compare the cross-validation error rate with the training set/test set approach error rate. The dataset we will use is the hepatitis C dataset, in which we will build a classification model to predict which patients get advanced fibrosis. Follow these steps to complete this activity:

  1. Load the dataset and print the number of records and features in the dataset, as well as the number of possible classes in the target dataset:
    # Load the dataset
    import pandas as pd
    X = pd.read_csv('../data/HCV_feats.csv')
    y = pd.read_csv('../data/HCV_target...
