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.

Using TensorFlow with Keras

TensorFlow is great for the flexibility and power it provides to the programmer. A drawback of this is that prototyping models, and iterating through various tests can be cumbersome for the programmer. Keras is a wrapper for deep learning libraries that makes it simpler to deal with various aspects of the model and make the programming easier. Here, we choose to use Keras on top of TensorFlow. In fact, using Keras with the TensorFlow backend is so popular, that there is a Keras library within TensorFlow. For this recipe, we will be using that TensorFlow library to do a fully connected neural network and a simple CNN image network on the MNIST dataset.
