Overview of this book

TensorFlow is one of the most popular frameworks used for machine learning and, more recently, deep learning. It provides a fast and efficient framework for training different kinds of deep learning models, with very high accuracy. This book is your guide to master deep learning with TensorFlow with the help of 10 real-world projects. TensorFlow Deep Learning Projects starts with setting up the right TensorFlow environment for deep learning. You'll learn how to train different types of deep learning models using TensorFlow, including Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, LSTMs, and Generative Adversarial Networks. While doing this, you will build end-to-end deep learning solutions to tackle different real-world problems in image processing, recommendation systems, stock prediction, and building chatbots, to name a few. You will also develop systems that perform machine translation and use reinforcement learning techniques to play games. By the end of this book, you will have mastered all the concepts of deep learning and their implementation with TensorFlow, and will be able to build and train your own deep learning models with TensorFlow confidently.

Building a TensorFlow model

The deep learning models in this chapter are built using TensorFlow, based on the original script written by Abhishek Thakur using Keras (you can read the original code at https://github.com/abhishekkrthakur/is_that_a_duplicate_quora_question). Keras is a Python library that provides an easy interface to TensorFlow. Tensorflow has official support for Keras, and the models trained using Keras can easily be converted to TensorFlow models. Keras enables the very fast prototyping and testing of deep learning models. In our project, we rewrote the solution entirely in TensorFlow from scratch anyway.

To start, let's import the necessary libraries, in particular TensorFlow, and let's check its version by printing it:

import zipfile
from tqdm import tqdm_notebook as tqdm
import tensorflow as tf
print("TensorFlow version %s" % tf.__version__...
