Why Keras?

Always remember using KEras & TEnsorflow (KETE) combo rocks.
1. Perfect Integration with Tensorflow
2. High-level abstraction
3. Well-written document: https://keras.io

Keras Working Pipeline

1. Model definition (0:15:00)
   model = Sequential()
model.add()
2. Model compilation (0:15:15)
   by default
   model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',optimizer='sgd',metrics=['accuracy'])
   by self-define
   from keras.optimizers import SGD
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',optimizer=SGD(lr=0.01,momentum=0.9,nesterov=True))
3. Training
   model.fit(X_train, Y_train, nb_epoch=5, batch_size=32)
4. Prediction and Evaluation
   Evaluate your performance in one line:
   loss_and_metrics = model.evaluate(X_test, Y_test, batch_size=32)
   Or generate predictions on new data
   classes = model.predict_classes(X_test, batch_size = 32)
proba = model.predict_proba(X_test, batch_size = 32)

Keras Utilities

Preprocessing

Keras Preprocessing provides useful data augmentation methods for Sequence, Text and Image data. Take image for example, some augmentation are normally done:

• Flipping
• Shearing
• Rotation
• Rescaling to [0,1]
• Etc.

keras.preprocessing.image,imageDataGenerator

train_datagen =  ImageDataGenerator(
rescale=1./255,
shear_range=0.2,
zoom_range=0.2,
horizontal_flip=True)

test_datagen=ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255)

train_generator = train_daagen.flow_from_directory(
'data/train',
target_size=(150,150),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='binary') 
#'binary' means that: data/train/dogs---class_0, data/train/cats---class_1

validation_generator = test_datagen.flow_from_directory(
'data/validation',
target_size=(150,150),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='binary'
)

model.fit_generator(
train_generator,
sample_per_epoch=2000,
nb_epoch=50,
validation_data = validation_generator,
nb_val_samples=800
)

Application

Keras Applications are deep learning models that are made available alongside pre-trained weights. These models can be used for prediction, feature extraction, and fine-tuning.Weights are downloaded automatically when instantiating a model. They are stored at ~/.keras/models/.

# Extract features with VGG16
from keras.applications.vgg16 import VGG16
from keras.preprocessing import image
from keras.applications.vgg16 import preprocess_input
import numpy as np

model = VGG16(weights = 'imagenet', include_top=False)
# Keras will download the VGG16 weights when your specipy VGG16
# include_top = False means you use it for extracting features for all Convs
# weights path = '.keras/models/weights.h5'
img_path = 'elephant.jpg'
img = image.img_to_array(img)
x = np.expand_dims(x, axis=0)
x = preprocess_input(x)

features = model.predict()
