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.

How to install TensorFlow

You can install TensorFlow on your machine in a number of ways; such as using virtualenv, pip, Docker, and Anaconda. However, using Docker and Anaconda are a bit advanced and this is why we have decided to use pip and virtualenv instead.

Interested readers can try using Docker and Anaconda from this URL at https://www.tensorflow.org/install/.

Installing TensorFlow with native pip

If Steps 1 to 6 have been completed, install TensorFlow by invoking one of the following commands, for Python 2.7 and of course with only CPU support:

$ pip install tensorflow  

For Python 3.x and of course with only CPU support:

$ pip3 install tensorflow

For Python 2.7 and of course with GPU support:

$ pip install tensorflow-gpu

For Python 3.x and of course...
