How to use keras.models to build neural networks in Python

The compile() method in Keras finalizes a model for training by specifying its optimizer (Adam, RMSprop), loss function (e.g., categorical_crossentropy), and metrics like accuracy. This crucial step allows for hyperparameter tuning, such as setting a custom learning rate for the optimizer.
