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.

Summary

GPUs are specialized hardware components that were originally developed for graphics applications. However, it was realized that GPUs could be used to perform computations in a DNN architecture.

In the second part of this chapter, we saw how to install a GPU-enabled TensorFlow and how to manage GPU devices.

In the next chapter, we will discuss some advanced programming features using TensorFlow by integrating with other third-party tools such as, Keras, PrettyTensor and TFLearn. In addition, we’ll give an overview of some TensorFlow-based framework--Keras, PrettyTensor and TFLearn.

We'll show the main topics of these frameworks, with very interesting application examples.
