Installing Keras for deep learning - PyImageSearch

The purpose of this blog post is to demonstrate how to install the Keras library for deep learning. Let me start by saying that Keras is my favorite deep learning Python library. It's a minimalist, modular neural network library that can use either Theano or TensorFlow as a backend. Furthermore, the primary motivation behind Keras really resonates with me: you should be able to experiment super quickly -- going from idea to result, as fast as possible. Coming from a world that mixes both academia and entrepreneurship, the ability to iterate quickly is extremely valuable, especially in the deep learning world where it can take days to weeks to train just a single model.
