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 elastic net regression

Elastic net regression is a type of regression that combines lasso regression with ridge regression by adding L1 and L2 regularization terms to the loss function.

Getting ready

Implementing elastic net regression should be straightforward after the previous two recipes, so we will implement this in multiple linear regression on the iris dataset, instead of sticking to the two-dimensional data as before. We will use petal length, petal width, and sepal width to predict sepal length.

How to do it...

We proceed with the recipe as follows...
