Deep Learning with Keras Workshop

Discover how to leverage Keras, the powerful and easy-to-use open source Python library for developing and evaluating deep learning modelsKey FeaturesGet to grips with various model evaluation metrics, including sensitivity, specificity, and AUC scoresExplore advanced concepts such as sequential memory and sequential modelingReinforce your skills with real-world development, screencasts, and knowledge checksBook DescriptionNew 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.What you will learnGain insights into the fundamentals of neural networksUnderstand the limitations of machine learning and how it differs from deep learningBuild image classifiers with convolutional neural networksEvaluate, tweak, and improve your models with techniques such as cross-validationCreate prediction models to detect data patterns and make predictionsImprove model accuracy with L1, L2, and dropout regularizationWho this book is forIf you know the basics of data science and machine learning and want to get started with advanced machine learning technologies like artificial neural networks and deep learning, then this is the book for you.
