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.

Using TensorFlow on a Feed-Forward Neural Network

Neural network's architectures can be very different; these configurations are often organized on different layers, the first of which receives the input signals and the last returns the output signals. Usually these networks are identified as feed-forward neural networks.

Feed-forward neural networks, which we intend to illustrate briefly, are well suited to be used for the approximation of functions and for the interpolation.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

  • Introducing feed-forward neural network
  • Classification of handwritten digits
  • Exploring the MNIST dataset
  • Softmax classifier
  • How to save and restore a TensorFlow model
  • Implementing a five-layer neural network
  • ReLU classifier
  • Dropout optimization
