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 Recommender System

A recommender system is an algorithm that makes personalized suggestions to users based on their past interactions with the software. The most famous example is the "customers who bought X also bought Y" type of recommendation on Amazon and other e-commerce websites.

In the past few years, recommender systems have gained a lot of importance: it has become clear for the online businesses that the better the recommendations they give on their websites, the more money they make. This is why today almost every website has a block with personalized recommendations.

In this chapter, we will see how we can use TensorFlow to build our own recommender system.

In particular, we will cover the following topics:

  • Basics of recommender systems
  • Matrix Factorization for recommender systems
  • Bayesian Personalized Ranking
  • Advanced recommender systems...
