Keras Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Guide

🧠 Introduction to Keras
Keras is an open-source deep learning framework that simplifies building and training neural networks. It runs on top of TensorFlow, Theano, or CNTK, making it highly flexible for various machine learning tasks.

🔧 Key Features

  • User-Friendly API: Easy to prototype and experiment with models
  • Modular Architecture: Stack layers like building blocks
  • Prebuilt Layers: Dense, Conv2D, LSTM, and more
  • Support for Both CNNs and RNNs: Handles image and sequence data

📊 Getting Started

  1. Install Keras: pip install keras
  2. Import libraries:
    from keras.models import Sequential  
    from keras.layers import Dense  
    
  3. Build a simple network:
    model = Sequential()  
    model.add(Dense(32, activation='relu', input_dim=100))  
    model.add(Dense(1, activation='softmax'))  
    model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='binary_crossentropy')

💡 Tips for Effective Model Training

  • Use model.summary() to visualize the network structure
  • Experiment with different activation functions (ReLU, Tanh, etc.)
  • Regularly save checkpoints with model.save()
