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.

Activity 7.01: Amending Our Model with Multiple Layers and the Use of softmax

Let's try and improve the performance of our image classification algorithm. There are many ways to improve its performance, and one of the most straightforward ways is by adding multiple ANN layers to the model, which we will learn about in this activity. We will also change the activation from sigmoid to softmax. Then, we can compare the result with that of the previous exercise. Follow these steps to complete this activity:

  1. Import the numpy library and the necessary Keras libraries and classes:
    # Import the Libraries 
    from keras.models import Sequential
    from keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPool2D, Flatten, Dense
    import numpy as np
    from tensorflow import random
  2. Now, initiate the model with the Sequential class:
    # Initiate the classifier
    seed = 1
    np.random.seed(seed)
    random.set_seed(seed)
    classifier=Sequential()
  3. Add the first layer...
