Deep learning models can take hours, days or even weeks to train. If the run is stopped unexpectedly, you can lose a lot of work. In this post you will discover how you can check-point your deep learning models during training in Python using the Keras library. Let’s get started. Jun/2016: First published Update Mar/2017: […]
Hyperparameter optimization is a big part of deep learning. The reason is that neural networks are notoriously difficult to configure and there are a lot of parameters that need to be set. On top of that, individual models can be very slow to train. In this post you will discover how you can use the grid […]
Keras is an easy to use and powerful Python library for deep learning. There are a lot of decisions to make when designing and configuring your deep learning models. Most of these decisions must be resolved empirically through trial and error and evaluating them on real data. As such, it is critically important to have […]
The Keras Python library for deep learning focuses on the creation of models as a sequence of layers. In this post you will discover the simple components that you can use to create neural networks and simple deep learning models using Keras from TensorFlow. Let’s get started. May 2016: First version Update Mar/2017: Updated example […]
Keras is a simple and powerful Python library for deep learning. Given that deep learning models can take hours, days and even weeks to train, it is important to know how to save and load them from disk. In this post, you will discover how you can save your Keras models to file and load them […]
Keras is a powerful and easy-to-use free open source Python library for developing and evaluating deep learning models. It is part of the TensorFlow library and allows you to define and train neural network models in just a few lines of code. In this tutorial, you will discover how to create your first deep learning neural […]
TensorFlow is a Python library for fast numerical computing created and released by Google. It is a foundation library that can be used to create Deep Learning models directly or by using wrapper libraries that simplify the process built on top of TensorFlow. In this post you will discover the TensorFlow library for Deep Learning. […]
Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm that follows the negative gradient of an objective function in order to locate the minimum of the function. A limitation of gradient descent is that it uses the same step size (learning rate) for each input variable. This can be a problem on objective functions that have different amounts […]
Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm that follows the negative gradient of an objective function in order to locate the minimum of the function. A limitation of gradient descent is that a single step size (learning rate) is used for all input variables. Extensions to gradient descent like the Adaptive Movement Estimation (Adam) algorithm use […]
