Classification and regression in one model

Now you will create a different kind of 2-output model. This time, you will predict the score difference, instead of both team's scores and then you will predict the probability that team 1 won the game. This is a pretty cool model: it is going to do both classification and regression!

In this model, turn off the bias, or intercept for each layer. Your inputs (seed difference and predicted score difference) have a mean of very close to zero, and your outputs both have means that are close to zero, so your model shouldn't need the bias term to fit the data well.

Exercise instructions

Create a single input layer with 2 columns.
The first output layer should have 1 unit with 'linear' activation and no bias term.
The second output layer should have 1 unit with 'sigmoid' activation and no bias term. Also, use the first output layer as an input to this layer.
Create a model with these input and outputs.

In this chapter, you'll become familiar with the basics of the Keras functional API. You'll build a simple functional network using functional building blocks, fit it to data, and make predictions.

Exercise 1: Keras input and dense layers Exercise 2: Input layers Exercise 3: Dense layers Exercise 4: Output layers Exercise 5: Build and compile a model Exercise 6: Build a model Exercise 7: Compile a model Exercise 8: Visualize a model Exercise 9: Fit and evaluate a model Exercise 10: Fit the model to the tournament basketball data Exercise 11: Evaluate the model on a test set

In this chapter, you will build two-input networks that use categorical embeddings to represent high-cardinality data, shared layers to specify re-usable building blocks, and merge layers to join multiple inputs to a single output. By the end of this chapter, you will have the foundational building blocks for designing neural networks with complex data flows.

In this chapter, you will extend your 2-input model to 3 inputs, and learn how to use Keras' summary and plot functions to understand the parameters and topology of your neural networks. By the end of the chapter, you will understand how to extend a 2-input model to 3 inputs and beyond.
