Machine Learning with TensorFlow 1.x

By: Quan Hua, Saif Ahmed, Shams Ul Azeem

Overview of this book

Google's TensorFlow is a game changer in the world of machine learning. It has made machine learning faster, simpler, and more accessible than ever before. This book will teach you how to easily get started with machine learning using the power of Python and TensorFlow 1.x. Firstly, you’ll cover the basic installation procedure and explore the capabilities of TensorFlow 1.x. This is followed by training and running the first classifier, and coverage of the unique features of the library including data ?ow graphs, training, and the visualization of performance with TensorBoard—all within an example-rich context using problems from multiple industries. You’ll be able to further explore text and image analysis, and be introduced to CNN models and their setup in TensorFlow 1.x. Next, you’ll implement a complete real-life production system from training to serving a deep learning model. As you advance you’ll learn about Amazon Web Services (AWS) and create a deep neural network to solve a video action recognition problem. Lastly, you’ll convert the Caffe model to TensorFlow and be introduced to the high-level TensorFlow library, TensorFlow-Slim. By the end of this book, you will be geared up to take on any challenges of implementing TensorFlow 1.x in your machine learning environment.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered TensorFlow installation on the three major operating systems, so all readers should be up and running with the platform. Windows users faced an extra challenge, as TensorFlow on Windows only supports Python 3.5.x or Python 3.6.x 64-bit version. However, even Windows users should now be up and running. Congratulations, now the fun begins!

You now have TensorFlow installed. The immediate next step is to test the installation with a sample built-in training effort. Next, we will write our first classifier from scratch—a handwriting recognizer.

In the upcoming chapters, we will review TensorFlow tools and use them on our projects. We will also review the major deep learning concepts, using each in the context of a project. You will have a chance to try projects in multiple industries, ranging from finance to medicine to language.
