Deep Learning with TensorFlow

Overview of this book

Deep learning is the step that comes after machine learning, and has more advanced implementations. Machine learning is not just for academics anymore, but is becoming a mainstream practice through wide adoption, and deep learning has taken the front seat. As a data scientist, if you want to explore data abstraction layers, this book will be your guide. This book shows how this can be exploited in the real world with complex raw data using TensorFlow 1.x. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to implement deep learning algorithms for machine learning systems and integrate them into your product offerings, including search, image recognition, and language processing. Additionally, you’ll learn how to analyze and improve the performance of deep learning models. This can be done by comparing algorithms against benchmarks, along with machine intelligence, to learn from the information and determine ideal behaviors within a specific context. After finishing the book, you will be familiar with machine learning techniques, in particular the use of TensorFlow for deep learning, and will be ready to apply your knowledge to research or commercial projects.

FrozenLake-v0 implementation problem

Here we report a basic Q-learning implementation for the FrozenLake-v0 problem.

Import the following two basic libraries:

import gym 
import numpyasnp

Then, we load the FrozenLake-v0 environment:

environment = gym.make('FrozenLake-v0')

Then, we build the Q-learning table; it has the dimensions SxA, where S is the dimension of the observation space, S, while A is the dimension of the action space, A:

S = environment.observation_space.n 
A = environment.action_space.n

The FrozenLake environment provides a state for each block, and four actions (that is, the four directions of movement), giving us a 16x4 table of Q-values to initialize:

Q = np.zeros([S,A])

Then, we define the a parameter for the training rule and the discount g factor:

alpha = .85 
gamma = .99

We fix the total number of episodes (trials):

num_episodes = 2000

Then, we initialize the rList, where we&apos...
