In this chapter, we will explore the field of deep learning (DL) with a brief introduction and then move to have a look at the popular choices of available frameworks for DL development. We will also take a closer look at the Keras ecosystem to understand why it is special and have a look at a sample code to understand how easy the framework is for developing DL models.

Let’s get started.

Introduction to DL

We’ll first start with a formal definition and then tackle a simple way of delineating the topic.

DL is a subfield of machine learning (ML) in artificial ...
