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.

Working with nearest-neighbors

We will start this chapter by implementing nearest-neighbors to predict housing values. This is a great way to start with nearest-neighbors, because we will be dealing with numerical features and continuous targets.

Getting ready

To illustrate how making predictions with nearest-neighbors works in TensorFlow, we will use the Boston housing dataset. Here, we will be predicting the median neighborhood housing value as a function of several features.

Since we consider the training set the trained model, we will find the k-NNs to the prediction points, and will calculate a weighted average of the target value.
