Regression networks

The two major techniques of supervised learning are classification and regression. In both cases, the model is trained with data to predict known labels. In case of classification, these labels are discrete values such as genres of text or image categories. In case of regression, these labels are continuous values, such as stock prices or human intelligence quotients (IQ).

Most of the examples we have seen show deep learning models being used to perform classification. In this section, we will look at how to perform regression using such a model.

Recall that classification models have a dense layer with a nonlinear activation at the end, the output dimension of which corresponds to the number of classes the model can predict. ...
