    About the Course

    In this course, you will: • Compare Functional and Sequential APIs, discover new models you can build with the Functional API, and build a
    model that produces multiple outputs including a Siamese network. • Build custom loss functions (including the contrastive loss function used in
    a Siamese network) in order to measure how well a model is doing and help your neural network learn from training data. • Build off of
    existing standard layers to create custom layers for your models, customize a network layer with a lambda layer, understand the differences
    between them, learn what makes up a custom layer, and explore activation functions. • Build off of existing models to add c...
