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.

9. Sequential Modeling with Recurrent Neural Networks

Activity 9.01: Predicting the Trend of Amazon's Stock Price Using an LSTM with 50 Units (Neurons)

In this activity, we will examine the stock price of Amazon for the last 5 years—from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018. In doing so, we will try to predict and forecast the company's future trend for January 2019 using an RNN and LSTM. We have the actual values for January 2019, so we can compare our predictions to the actual values later. Follow these steps to complete this activity:

  1. Import the required libraries:
    import numpy as np
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import pandas as pd
    from tensorflow import random
  2. Import the dataset using the pandas read_csv function and look at the first five rows of the dataset using the head method:
    dataset_training = pd.read_csv('../AMZN_train.csv')
    dataset_training.head()

    The following figure shows the output of the preceding code:
