Graham Lee

Graham Lee is an experienced programmer and writer. He has written books including Professional Cocoa Application Security, Test-Driven iOS Development, APPropriate Behaviour and APPosite Concerns. He is a developer who's been programming for long enough to want to start telling other people about the mistakes he's made, in the hope that they'll avoid repeating them. In his case, this means having worked for about 12 years as a professional. His first programming experience can hardly be called professional at all: as it was in BASIC, on a Dragon 32 microcomputer.

Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to build neural networks using Keras, one of the best deep learning libraries in the world. You built Sequential dense models with a variety of hidden layers and nodes using the ReLU activation function and the Adam optimizer. You used Early Stopping to find an ideal number of epochs, and you used Dropout to help prevent overfitting. Furthermore, you trained both regressors and classifiers, making sure to use binary_crossentropy as the classification loss function and the sigmoid activation function. Additionally, you learned about the foundations behind convolutions and built convolutional neural networks to classify handwritten digits with over 98% accuracy.

Congratulations on completing your deep learning journey.

The next chapter is the final chapter of the second edition of the Python Workshop, New Features in Python, which includes updates from Python 3.7 to Python 3.11.
