Neural Network Projects with Python

Predicting Diabetes with Multilayer Perceptrons

In the first chapter, we went through the inner workings of a neural network, how to build our own neural network using Python libraries such as Keras, as well as the end-to-end machine learning workflow. In this chapter, we will apply what we have learned to build a multilayer perceptron (MLP) that can predict whether a patient is at risk of diabetes. This marks the first neural network project that we will build from scratch.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Understanding the problem that we're trying to tackle—diabetes mellitus
• How AI is being used in healthcare today, and how AI will continue to transform healthcare
• An in-depth analysis of the diabetes mellitus dataset, ...
