Mahla Abdolahnejad

Mahla Abdolahnejad is a Ph.D. candidate in systems and computer engineering with Carleton University, Canada. She also holds a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in biomedical engineering, which first exposed her to the field of artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks, in particular. Her Ph.D. research is focused on deep unsupervised learning for computer vision applications. She is particularly interested in exploring the differences between a human's way of learning from the visual world and a machine's way of learning from the visual world, and how to push machine learning algorithms toward learning and thinking like humans.

Building Your First Neural Network


In this section, you will first learn about the representations and concepts of deep learning such as forward propagation, backpropagation, and gradient descent. We will not delve deeply into these concepts, as it isn't required for this book. However, the coverage will essentially help anyone who wants to apply deep learning to a problem.

We then will move on to implementing neural networks using Keras. Also, we will stick to the simplest case, which is a neural network with a single hidden layer. You will learn how to define a model in Keras, choose the hyperparameters, and then train your model. At the end of this section, you will have the opportunity to practice what you have learned by implementing a neural network in Keras to perform classification on a dataset and observe how neural networks outperform simpler models such as logistic regression.
