This topic is about Keras – Regression Prediction using MPL. let us write a simple MPL based ANN to do regression prediction. Till now, we have only done the classification based prediction. Now, we will try to predict the next possible value by analyzing the previous (continuous) values and its influencing factors.
The Regression MPL can be represented as below −
The core features of the model are as follows −
- Input layer consists of (13,) values.
- First layer, Dense consists of 64 units and ‘relu’ activation function with ‘normal’ kernel initializer.
- Second layer, Dense consists of 64 units and ‘relu’ activation function.
- Output layer, Dense consists of 1 unit.
- Use mse as loss function.
- Use RMSprop as Optimizer.
- Use accuracy as metrics.
- Use 128 as batch size.
- Use 500 as epochs.
Step 1 − Import the modules
Let us import the necessary modules.
import keras from keras.datasets import boston_housing from keras.models import Sequential from keras.layers import Dense from keras.optimizers import RMSprop from keras.callbacks import EarlyStopping from sklearn import preprocessing from sklearn.preprocessing import scale
Step 2 − Load data
Let us import the Boston housing dataset.
(x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = boston_housing.load_data()
Here,
boston_housing is a dataset provided by Keras. It represents a collection of housing information in Boston area, each having 13 features.
Step 3 − Process the data
Let us change the dataset according to our model, so that, we can feed into our model. The data can be changed using below code −
x_train_scaled = preprocessing.scale(x_train) scaler = preprocessing.StandardScaler().fit(x_train) x_test_scaled = scaler.transform(x_test)
Here, we have normalized the training data using sklearn.preprocessing.scale function. preprocessing.StandardScaler().fit function returns a scalar with the normalized mean and standard deviation of the training data, which we can apply to the test data using scalar.transform function. This will normalize the test data as well with the same setting as that of training data.
Step 4 − Create the model
Let us create the actual model.
model = Sequential() model.add(Dense(64, kernel_initializer = 'normal', activation = 'relu', input_shape = (13,))) model.add(Dense(64, activation = 'relu')) model.add(Dense(1))
Step 5 − Compile the model
Let us compile the model using selected loss function, optimizer and metrics.
model.compile( loss = 'mse', optimizer = RMSprop(), metrics = ['mean_absolute_error'] )
Step 6 − Train the model
Let us train the model using fit() method.
history = model.fit( x_train_scaled, y_train, batch_size=128, epochs = 500, verbose = 1, validation_split = 0.2, callbacks = [EarlyStopping(monitor = 'val_loss', patience = 20)] )
Here, we have used callback function, EarlyStopping. The purpose of this callback is to monitor the loss value during each epoch and compare it with previous epoch loss value to find the improvement in the training. If there is no improvement for the patience times, then the whole process will be stopped.
Executing the application will give the below information as output −

Step 7 − Evaluate the model
Let us evaluate the model using test data.
score = model.evaluate(x_test_scaled, y_test, verbose = 0)
print('Test loss:', score[0])
print('Test accuracy:', score[1])
Executing the above code will output the below information −
Test loss: 21.928471583946077 Test accuracy: 2.9599233234629914
Step 8 − Predict
Finally, predict using test data as below −
prediction = model.predict(x_test_scaled) print(prediction.flatten()) print(y_test)
The output of the above application is as follows −
