Keras

In this chapter, we will focus on the high-level TensorFlow API named Keras.

By the end of this chapter, you should have a better understanding of:

• The Keras Sequential API
• The Keras Functional API
• The Keras Subclassing API
• The Keras Preprocessing API

Introduction

In the previous chapter, we covered TensorFlow's fundamentals, and we are now able to set up a computational graph. This chapter will introduce Keras, a high-level neural network API written in Python with multiple backends. TensorFlow is one of them. François Chollet, a French software engineer and AI researcher currently working at Google, created Keras for his own personal use before it was open-sourced in 2015. Keras's primary goal is to provide an easy-to-use and accessible ...
