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.

Introduction

Throughout this book, we have seen that TensorFlow is capable of implementing many models, but there is more that TensorFlow can do. This chapter will show you a few of those things. We'll start by showing how to use the various aspects of TensorBoard, a capability that comes with TensorFlow that allows us to visualize summary metrics, graphs, and images even while our model is training. The remaining recipes in the chapter will show how to use TensorFlow's group() function to do step-wise updates. This function will allow us to implement a genetic algorithm, perform k-means clustering, solve a system of ODEs, and even create a gradient boosted random forest.
