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.

Getting Started with TensorFlow

Summary

In this chapter, we covered the major areas of TensorBoard--EVENTS, HISTOGRAMS, and viewing GRAPH. We modified popular models to see the exact changes required before TensorBoard could be up and running. This should have demonstrated the fairly minimal effort required to get started with TensorBoard.

Finally, we focused on various popular models by viewing their network design. We did this by instrumenting the code with TensorBoard hooks and using the TensorBoard Graph Explorer to deep dive into the network setups.

The reader should now be able to use TensorBoard more effectively, gauge training performance, and plan runs and modify training scripts.

Next, we're going to jump into convolutional networks. We'll use parts of our prior work so we can hit the ground running. But, we'll focus on more advanced neural network setups to achieve better accuracy....
