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.

Learning to play Tic Tac Toe

To show how adaptable neural networks can be, we will now attempt to use a neural network in order to learn the optimal moves for Tic Tac Toe. We will approach this knowing that Tic Tac Toe is a deterministic game and that the optimal moves are already known.

Getting ready

To train our model, we will use a list of board positions followed by the best optimal response for a number of different boards. We can reduce the amount of boards to train on by considering only board positions that are different with regard to symmetry. The non-identity transformations of a Tic Tac Toe board are a rotation (in either direction) of 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 270 degrees, a horizontal reflection, and a vertical...
