Hands-On Deep Learning for Images with TensorFlow

Classical Neural Network

Now that we've prepared our image data, it's time to take what we've learned and use it to build a classical, or dense neural network. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• First, we'll look at classical, dense neural networks and their structure.
• Then, we'll talk about activation functions and nonlinearity.
• When we come to actually classify, we need another piece of math, softmax. We'll discuss why this matters later in this chapter.
• We'll look at training and testing data, as well as Dropout and Flatten, which are new network components, designed to make the networks work better.
• Then, we'll look at how machine learners actually solve.
• Finally, we'll learn about the concepts of hyperparameters and ...
