Define team model

The team strength lookup has three components: an input, an embedding layer, and a flatten layer that creates the output.

If you wrap these three layers in a model with an input and output, you can re-use that stack of three layers at multiple places.

Note again that the weights for all three layers will be shared everywhere we use them.

Exercise instructions

Create a 1D input layer for the team ID (which will be an integer). Be sure to set the correct input shape!
Pass this input to the team strength lookup layer you created previously.
Flatten the output of the team strength lookup.
Create a model that uses the 1D input as input and flattened team strength as output.

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.
