  When building classification models with Keras, we need to transform the target column into an array with binary values before we can use it.

• 1. Which of the following libraries is particularly suited for running machine learning algorithms on GPUs?

  • Correct Answer: PyTorch

  Note: PyTorch and TensorFlow are designed with native support for CUDA to accelerate tensor computations on GPUs, whereas standard libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-learn run primarily on the CPU.

  2. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • Correct Answer: Keras is a high-level API that facilitates fast development and quick prototyping of deep learning models.

  Note: Keras acts as a user-friendly interface built on top of lower-level frameworks (primarily TensorFlow) to streamline model building.

  3. What are the two model classes in the Keras library? Select all that apply.

  • [X] The model class used with the functional API

  • [X] Sequential model

  Note: Keras provides two primary ways to construct models: the straightforward Sequential class for linear stacks of layers, and the flexible Model class used with the Functional API for complex architectures.

  4. When adding a ‘dense’ layer to the first hidden layer in a regression model, what three things do we specify?

  • Correct Answer: The number of neurons in each layer, the activation function, and the number of columns in our data set.

  Note: For the very first hidden layer, Keras requires the input shape (input_dim or input_shape), which corresponds to the number of feature columns in your dataset. The number of targets is only defined later in the final output layer.

  5. When building classification models with Keras, what do we need to do to the target column before we can use it?

  • Correct Answer: Transform it into an array of binary values

  Note: Categorical labels must typically be converted into a one-hot encoded format (an array of binary vectors via tools like to_categorical) so the neural network can compute categorical cross-entropy loss effectively.

• Module 4 - Deep Learning Models
• Module 4 - Shallow Versus Deep Neural Networks
•  (02:45) Recap

  
  
  
  
  
  
• Welcome to Shallow vs Deep Neural Networks. After watching this video, you'll be able ​to describe the difference between shallow neural networks and deep neural networks, ​and explain which factors were behind the sudden boom in the field of deep learning. ​So far, we've covered only neural networks that aren't particularly deep or shallow. ​This is because understanding these networks is the building block of understanding deep ​neural networks being easier to understand due to their simplicity. There isn't a consensus ​on the definition of a shallow neural network, but a neural network with only one or two ​hidden layers is considered a shallow neural network, whereas a network with three or more ​hidden layers and a large number of neurons in each layer is considered a deep neural ​network. ​Also, unlike a shallow neural network, which only takes input as vectors, deep neural networks ​are able to take raw data, such as images and text, and automatically extract the necessary ​features to learn the data better. Neural networks have been around for some time, ​so why did they only recently become deep and start taking off, resulting in so many ​cool and exciting applications? 

  ​The sudden boom in the deep learning field can be attributed to three main factors. ​Number one is advancement in the field itself. We talked about this briefly in the activation ​functions video, where we mentioned that ReLU activation function helped overcome the challenges ​of the vanishing gradient problem and, therefore, opened the door to the creation of very deep ​neural networks. ​Another main reason is the availability of data. Deep neural networks work best when ​trained with large amounts of data. Since neural networks learn the training data so ​well, large amounts of data have to be used to avoid overfitting the training data. Now ​that large amounts of data are readily available and easy to acquire like never before, deep ​learning algorithms are being tried and tested like never before. Other conventional machine ​learning algorithms, while they do improve with more data, only do so up to a certain ​point. After that, no significant improvement would be observed with more data. 

  ​That is definitely not the case with deep learning. The more data you feed it, the better ​it performs. Finally, this goes hand in hand with point number two, its computational power. ​With super powerful GPUs, we can now train very deep neural networks on tremendous amounts ​of data in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks, which is how long it used to take ​to train very deep neural networks. ​Therefore, users can experiment with different deep neural networks and test different prototypes ​in much shorter periods of time. These three factors are the main reasons behind the deep ​learning boom. In this video, you learned that ​A neural network with one hidden layer is considered a shallow neural network. 

  ​A network with many hidden layers and many neurons in each layer is considered a deep ​neural network. ​Shallow neural networks take only input as vectors. ​Deep neural networks can take raw data such as images and text. ​Even the sudden boom in the deep learning field can be attributed to three main factors ​– advancements in the field, the availability of data, and greater computational power.
