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.

First Look at TensorFlow

TensorFlow is mathematical software and an open-source software library for Machine Intelligence, developed in 2011, by Google Brain Team. The initial target of TensorFlow was to conduct research in machine learning and in deep neural networks. However, the system is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well.

The name is derived from the data model which is represented by tensors and from the data flow graph that stands for the TensorFlow's execution model. In 2015, Google has open-sourced the TensorFlow and all of its reference implementation and made all the source code available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license. After that, TensorFlow has achieved wide adaption, form academia and research to industry and following that recently the most stable version 1.0 has been released with a unified API.
