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.

The result we got from running this network is 75 percent accurate on the validation set. This is not very good because of the criticality of the network usage. In medicine, there is not much room for error because a person's medical condition is on the line.

To make this accuracy better, we need to define a different criterion for evaluation. You can read more about it here:

Also, you can balance the dataset. What we have now is an unbalanced dataset in which the number of diseased patients is much lower than the number of normal patients. Thus, the network becomes more sensitive to normal patients' features and less sensitive to diseased patients' features.

To fix this problem, we can SMOTE our dataset. SMOTing is basically replicating the data of less frequent classes (flipping the image horizontally...
