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.

Implementing a One-Layer Neural Network


We have all the tools to implement a neural network that operates on real data. We will create a neural network with one layer that operates on the Iris dataset.

Getting ready

In this section, we will implement a neural network with one hidden layer. It will be important to understand that a fully connected neural network is based mostly on matrix multiplication. As such, the dimensions of the data and matrix are very important to get lined up correctly.

Since this is a regression problem, we will use the mean squared error as the loss function.

How to do it…

  1. To create the computational graph, we'll start by loading the necessary libraries:

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np
    import tensorflow as tf
    from sklearn import datasets
  2. Now we'll load the Iris data and store the pedal length as the target value. Then we'll start a graph session:

    iris = datasets.load_iris()
    x_vals = np.array([x[0:3] for x in iris.data])
    y_vals = np.array([x[3] for x in...
