TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is an open source software library for Machine Intelligence. The independent recipes in this book will teach you how to use TensorFlow for complex data computations and will let you dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. You’ll work through recipes on training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and deep learning – each using Google’s machine learning library TensorFlow. This guide starts with the fundamentals of the TensorFlow library which includes variables, matrices, and various data sources. Moving ahead, you will get hands-on experience with Linear Regression techniques with TensorFlow. The next chapters cover important high-level concepts such as neural networks, CNN, RNN, and NLP. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, the last chapter will show you how to take it to production.

Combining Everything Together


In this section, we will combine everything we have illustrated so far and create a classifier on the iris dataset.

Getting ready

The iris data set is described in more detail in the Working with Data Sources recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started with TensorFlow. We will load this data, and do a simple binary classifier to predict whether a flower is the species Iris setosa or not. To be clear, this dataset has three classes of species, but we will only predict whether it is a single species (I. setosa) or not, giving us a binary classifier. We will start by loading the libraries and data, then transform the target accordingly.

How to do it…

  1. First we load the libraries needed and initialize the computational graph. Note that we also load matplotlib here, because we would like to plot the resulting line after:

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np
    from sklearn import datasets
    import tensorflow as tf
    sess = tf.Session()
  2. Next we load the iris data. We will...
