TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook - Second Edition

By: Nick McClure

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is an open source software library for Machine Intelligence. The independent recipes in this book will teach you how to use TensorFlow for complex data computations and allow you to dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. With the help of this book, you will work with recipes for training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and more. You will explore RNNs, CNNs, GANs, reinforcement learning, and capsule networks, each using Google's machine learning library, TensorFlow. Through real-world examples, you will get hands-on experience with linear regression techniques with TensorFlow. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, you will be shown how to take it to production. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in the field of machine intelligence using TensorFlow. You will also have good insight into deep learning and be capable of implementing machine learning algorithms in real-world scenarios.

Implementing unit tests

Testing code results in faster prototyping, more efficient debugging, and faster changing, and makes it easier to share code. There are a number of simple ways to implement unit tests in TensorFlow, and we will cover them in this recipe.

Getting ready

When programming a TensorFlow model, it helps to have unit tests to check the functionality of the program. This helps us because when we want to make changes to a program unit, tests will make sure those changes do not break the model in unknown ways. In this recipe, we will create a simple CNN network that relies on the MNIST data. With it, we will implement three different types of unit test to illustrate how to write them in TensorFlow.
