A quick tour of the Keras functional API
So far, we've used sequential models. In the sequential model, layers get stacked on top of each other when we call model.add()
. The advantage of the functional API is that it is simple and prevents errors. The disadvantage is that it only allows us to stack layers linearly:
Take a look at the preceding GoogLeNet architecture. While the graph is very detailed, what we need to take away is the fact that the model is not just a number of layers stacked on top of each other. Instead, there are multiple layers in parallel; in this ...
