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.

Creating Sequence-to-Sequence Models


Since every RNN unit we use also has an output, we can train RNN sequences to predict other sequences of variable length. For this recipe, we will take advantage of this fact to create an English to German translation model.

Getting ready

For this recipe, we will attempt to build a language translation model to translate from English to German.

TensorFlow has a built-in model class for sequence-to-sequence training.We will illustrate how to train and use it on downloaded English–German sentences.The data we will use comes from a compiled ZIP file at http://www.manythings.org/, which compiles the data from the Tatoeba Project (http://tatoeba.org/home).This data is a tab-delimited English–German sentence translation. For example, a row might contain the sentence, hello. /t hallo.The data contains thousands of sentences of various lengths.

How to do it…

  1. We start by loading the necessary libraries and starting a graph session:

    import os
    import string
    import requests...
