7 Neural networks and deep learning

This chapter covers

  • Convolutional neural networks for image classification
  • TensorFlow and Keras—frameworks for building neural networks
  • Using pretrained neural networks
  • Internals of a convolutional neural network
  • Training a model with transfer learning
  • Data augmentations—the process of generating more training data

Previously, we only dealt with tabular data—data in CSV files. In this chapter, we’ll work with a completely different type of data—images.

The project we prepared for this chapter is classification of clothes. We will predict if an image of clothing is a T-shirt, a shirt, a skirt, a dress, or something else.

This is an image classification problem. To solve it, we will learn how to train a deep ...
