Use Keras Deep Learning Models with Scikit-Learn in Python

Last Updated on August 27, 2020

Keras is one of the most popular deep learning libraries in Python for research and development because of its simplicity and ease of use.

The scikit-learn library is the most popular library for general machine learning in Python.

In this post you will discover how you can use deep learning models from Keras with the scikit-learn library in Python.

This will allow you to leverage the power of the scikit-learn library for tasks like model evaluation and model hyper-parameter optimization.

Kick-start your project with my new book Deep Learning With Python, including step-by-step tutorials and the Python source code files for all examples.

Let’s get started.

  • Update Oct/2016: Updated examples for Keras 1.1.0 and scikit-learn v0.18.
  • Update Jan/2017: Fixed a bug in printing the results of the grid search.
  • Update Mar/2017: Updated example for Keras 2.0.2, TensorFlow 1.0.1 and Theano 0.9.0.
  • Update Mar/2018: Added alternate link to download the dataset as the original appears to have been taken down.
