Book Description

Keras has quickly emerged as a popular deep learning library. Written in Python, it allows you to train convolutional as well as recurrent neural networks with speed and accuracy.

The Keras Deep Learning Cookbook shows you how to tackle different problems encountered while training efficient deep learning models, with the help of the popular Keras library. Starting with installing and setting up Keras, the book demonstrates how you can perform deep learning with Keras in the TensorFlow. From loading data to fitting and evaluating your model for optimal performance, you will work through a step-by-step process to tackle every possible problem faced while training deep models. You will implement convolutional and recurrent neural networks, adversarial networks, and more with the help of this handy guide. In addition to this, you will learn how to train these models for real-world image and language processing tasks.

By the end of this book, you will have a practical, hands-on understanding of how you can leverage the power of Python and Keras to perform effective deep learning

Who this book is for

Keras Deep Learning Cookbook is for you if you are a data scientist or machine learning expert who wants to find practical solutions to common problems encountered while training deep learning models. A basic understanding of Python and some experience in machine learning and neural networks is required for this book.

Recurrent Neural Networks

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

• Simple RNNs for time series data
• LSTM networks for time series data
• LSTM memory example time series forecasting with LSTM
• Sequence to sequence learning for the same length output with LSTM

Introduction

In this chapter, we will learn various recipes on how to create recurrent neural networks (RNNs) using Keras. First, we will understand the need for RNN. We will start with the simple RNNs followed by long short-term memory (LSTM) RNNs (these networks remember the state over a long period of time because of special gates in the cell).

The need for RNNs

Traditional neural networks cannot remember their past interactions, and that is a significant shortcoming. RNNs address this issue. They are networks with loops in them, allowing information to persist. RNNs have loops. In the next diagram, a chunk of the neural network, A, looks at some input, x_t, and outputs a value, h_t. A loop in the network allows information to be passed from one step of the network to the next.

This diagram shows what a neural network looks like:

Simple RNNs for time series data

In this recipe, we will learn how to use a simple RNN implementation of Keras to predict sales based on a historical dataset.

RNNs are a class of artificial neural network where connections between nodes of the network form a directed graph along a sequence. This topology allows it to exhibit dynamic temporal behavior for input of the time sequence type. Unlike feedforward neural networks, RNNs can use their internal state (also called memory) to process sequences of inputs. This makes them suitable for tasks such as unsegmented, connected handwriting recognition or speech recognition.

A simple RNN is implemented as part of the keras.layers.SimpleRNN class as follows:

keras.layers.SimpleRNN(units, activation='tanh', 
 use_bias=True, 
 kernel_initializer='glorot_uniform', 
 recurrent_initializer='orthogonal', 
 bias_initializer='zeros', 
 kernel_regularizer=None, 
 recurrent_regularizer=None, 
 bias_regularizer=None, 
 activity_regularizer=None, 
 kernel_constraint=None, 
 recurrent_constraint=None, 
 bias_constraint=None, 
 dropout=0.0, 
 recurrent_dropout=0.0, 
 return_sequences=False, 
 return_state=False, 
 go_backwards=False, 
 stateful=False, 
 unroll=False)

A simple RNN is a fully-connected RNN where the output is to be fed back to the input. We will be using a simple RNN for time series prediction.

Getting ready

The dataset is in this file: sales-of-shampoo-over-a-three-ye.csv. It has two columns, the first for months and the second for sales figures for each month, as follows:

"Month","Sales of shampoo over a three year period"
"1-01",266.0
"1-02",145.9
"1-03",183.1
"1-04",119.3
"1-05",180.3
"1-06",168.5
"1-07",231.8

First, we need to import the relevant classes, as follows:

from pandas import read_csv
from matplotlib import pyplot
from pandas import datetime

Loading the dataset

1. We define a parser to convert YY to YYYY, shown as follow:

def parser(x):
 return datetime.strptime('200' + x, '%Y-%m')

2. Next, call the read_csv function of pandas to load a .csv file into a pandas DataFrame.

Notice the data parser being used is the function defined previously.

3. The next read_csv function is called in the next code:

series = read_csv('sales-of-shampoo-over-a-three-ye.csv', header=0, parse_dates=[0], index_col=0, 
 squeeze=True, date_parser=parser)

4. Once the series is loaded, let's summarize the first few rows:

print(series.head())

The output of the preceding code is as follows:

Month
2001-01-01 266.0
2001-02-01 145.9
2001-03-01 183.1
2001-04-01 119.3
2001-05-01 180.3

5. Next, let's print the line plot using the pyplot library:

series.plot()
pyplot.show()
