Sequential Model in Keras<\/h3>\n<p>It allows us to create models layer by layer in sequential order. But it does not allow us to create models that have multiple inputs or outputs. It is best for simple stack of layers which have 1 input tensor and 1 output tensor.<\/p>\n<p>This model is not suited when any of the layer in the stack has multiple inputs or outputs. Even if we want non-linear topology, it is not suited.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example for Sequential model:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">from keras.models import Sequential\r\nfrom keras.layers import Dense\r\n\r\nmodel=Sequential()\r\nmodel.add(Dense(64,input_shape=8,))\r\nmode.add(Dense(32))<\/pre>\n<h3>2. Functional API in Keras<\/h3>\n<p>It provides more flexibility to define a model and add <a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/keras-layers\/\">layers in keras<\/a>. Functional API allows us to create models that have multiple input or output. It also allows us to share these layers. In other words. we can make graphs of layers using Keras functional API.<\/p>\n<p>As functional API is a data structure, it is easy to save it as a single file that helps in recreating the exact model without having the original code. Also its easy to model the graph here and access its nodes as well.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the Example for Functional API:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">from keras.models import Model\r\nfrom keras.layers import Input, Dense\r\n\r\ninput=Input(shape=(32,))\r\nlayer=Dense(32)(input)\r\nmodel=Model(inputs=input,outputs=layer)\r\n\r\n\/\/To create model with multiple inputs and outputs:\r\n\r\nmodel=Model(inputs=[input1,input2],outputs=[layer1,layer2,layer3])<\/pre>\n<h2>Model Subclassing in Keras<\/h2>\n<p>Sequential model does not allow you much flexibility to create your models. Functional API also only has a little of customization available for you. But you may create your own fully-customizable models in Keras. This is done by subclassing the Model class and implementing a call method.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">from keras.layers import Dense,Dropout,BatchNormalization\r\n\r\nClass Subclass(keras.Model):\r\n\r\n    def __init__(self, use_bn=False, use_dp=False, num_classes=10):\r\n        super(Subclass, self).__init__(name='mlp')\r\n        self.use_bn = use_bn\r\n        self.use_dp = use_dp\r\n        self.num_classes = num_classes\r\n\r\n        self.dense_1 = Dense(32, activation='relu')\r\n        self.dense_2 = Dense(num_classes, activation='softmax')\r\n        if self.use_dp:\r\n            self.dp = Dropout(0.5)\r\n        if self.use_bn:\r\n            self.bn = BatchNormalization(axis=-1)\r\n\r\n    def call(self, inputs):\r\n        x = self.dense_1(inputs)\r\n        if self.use_dp:\r\n            x = self.dp(x)\r\n        if self.use_bn:\r\n            x = self.bn(x)\r\n        return self.dense2(x)\r\n\r\nmodel =Subclass()<\/pre>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>In conclusion, this article explains about Keras Models and how to define your own model in Keras. We saw its two types that are Sequential and Functional API. We also discussed the flexibility above Models provide. After this, we saw how to create our own fully-customizable Model using Model Subclassing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A model is the basic data structure of Keras.
