TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook

By: Nick McClure

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.

Chapter 6. Neural Networks

In this chapter, we will introduce neural networks and how to implement them in TensorFlow. Most of the subsequent chapters will be based on neural networks, so learning how to use them in TensorFlow is very important. We will start by introducing basic concepts of neural networking and work up to multilayer networks. In the last section, we will create a neural network that learns to play Tic Tac Toe.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following recipes:

  • Implementing Operational Gates

  • Working with Gates and Activation Functions

  • Implementing a One-Layer Neural Network

  • Implementing Different Layers

  • Using Multilayer Networks

  • Improving Predictions of Linear Models

  • Learning to Play Tic Tac Toe
