Practical Projects with Keras 2.X

By: Barbora stetinova

Overview of this book

Keras is a user-friendly, modular, and intuitive neural network library that enables you to experiment with deep neural networks. Practical Projects with Keras 2.x explains how to leverage the power of Keras to build and train state-of-the-art deep learning models through a series of practical projects that look at a range of real-world application areas. You'll begin by exploring concepts underlying regression, such as the differences between simple and multiple regression and algebraically representing a multiple linear regression problem. Moving on, you'll discover various classification techniques, such as Naive Bayes and Mixture Gaussian, and use these to solve practical problems. The course ends by teaching you the basic concepts of multilayer neural networks and how to implement them in Keras environment. By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge you need to train your own deep learning models to solve different kinds of problems.

Multilayer Neural Networks
The term multilayer neural networks denote neural networks composed of many hidden levels (at least two) organized hierarchically. Hierarchical organization allows you to share and reuse information. Along the hierarchy, you can select specific features and discard unnecessary details in order to maximize the invariance. In multilevel machine learning, the deeper levels take inputs from the outputs of previous layers and perform more transformations and abstractions on them. This management of learning levels is inspired by the way in which a mammalian brain processes information and learns, responding to external stimuli.
