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.

5. Improving Model Accuracy

Activity 5.01: Weight Regularization on an Avila Pattern Classifier

In this activity, you will build a Keras model to perform classification on the Avila pattern dataset according to given network architecture and hyperparameter values. The goal is to apply different types of weight regularization on the model, that is, L1 and L2, and observe how each type changes the result. Follow these steps to complete this activity:

  1. Load the dataset and split the dataset into a training set and a test set:
    # Load the dataset
    import pandas as pd
    X = pd.read_csv('../data/avila-tr_feats.csv')
    y = pd.read_csv('../data/avila-tr_target.csv')
    """
    Split the dataset into training set and test set with a 0.8-0.2 ratio
    """
    from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
    seed = 1
    X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = \
    train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=seed)
