Paolo Galeone

Paolo Galeone is a computer engineer with strong practical experience. After getting his MSc degree, he joined the Computer Vision Laboratory at the University of Bologna, Italy, as a research fellow, where he improved his computer vision and machine learning knowledge working on a broad range of research topics. Currently, he leads the Computer Vision and Machine Learning laboratory at ZURU Tech, Italy. In 2019, Google recognized his expertise by awarding him the title of Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Machine Learning. As a GDE, he shares his passion for machine learning and the TensorFlow framework by blogging, speaking at conferences, contributing to open-source projects, and answering questions on Stack Overflow.

The Keras framework and its models

In contrast to what people who already familiar with Keras usually think, Keras is not a high-level wrapper around a machine learning framework (TensorFlow, CNTK, or Theano); instead, it is an API specification that's used for defining and training machine learning models.

TensorFlow implements the specification in its tf.keras module. In particular, TensorFlow 2.0 itself is an implementation of the specification and as such, many first-level submodules are nothing but aliases of the tf.keras submodules; for example, tf.metrics = tf.keras.metrics and tf.optimizers = tf.keras.optimizers.

TensorFlow 2.0 has, by far, the most complete implementation of the specification, making it the framework of choice for the vast majority of machine learning researchers. Any Keras API implementation allows you to build and train deep learning models. It...
