Tony Holdroyd

Tony Holdroyd's first degree, from Durham University, was in maths and physics. He also has technical qualifications, including MCSD, MCSD.net, and SCJP. He holds an MSc in computer science from London University. He was a senior lecturer in computer science and maths in further education, designing and delivering programming courses in many languages, including C, C+, Java, C#, and SQL. His passion for neural networks stems from research he did for his MSc thesis. He has developed numerous machine learning, neural network, and deep learning applications, and has advised in the media industry on deep learning as applied to image and music processing.

The features of Keras

If you want to know which version of Keras came with your TensorFlow, use the following command:

import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.keras.__version__)

At the time of writing, this produced the following (from the alpha build of TensorFlow 2):

2.2.4-tf

Other features of Keras include built-in support for multi-GPU data parallelism, and also the fact that Keras models can be turned into TensorFlow Estimators and trained on clusters of GPUs on Google Cloud.

Keras is, perhaps, unusual in that it is has a reference implementation maintained as an independent open source project, located at www.keras.io.

It's maintained independently of TensorFlow, although TensorFlow does have a full implementation of Keras in the tf.keras module. The implementation has TensorFlow-specific augmentations, including support for eager execution, by default.

Eager execution means...
