Overview of this book

TensorFlow has transformed the way machine learning is perceived. TensorFlow Machine Learning Projects teaches you how to exploit the benefits—simplicity, efficiency, and flexibility—of using TensorFlow in various real-world projects. With the help of this book, you’ll not only learn how to build advanced projects using different datasets but also be able to tackle common challenges using a range of libraries from the TensorFlow ecosystem. To start with, you’ll get to grips with using TensorFlow for machine learning projects; you’ll explore a wide range of projects using TensorForest and TensorBoard for detecting exoplanets, TensorFlow.js for sentiment analysis, and TensorFlow Lite for digit classification. As you make your way through the book, you’ll build projects in various real-world domains, incorporating natural language processing (NLP), the Gaussian process, autoencoders, recommender systems, and Bayesian neural networks, along with trending areas such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), capsule networks, and reinforcement learning. You’ll learn how to use the TensorFlow on Spark API and GPU-accelerated computing with TensorFlow to detect objects, followed by how to train and develop a recurrent neural network (RNN) model to generate book scripts. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the required expertise to build full-fledged machine learning projects at work.

Summary


In this chapter, we briefly covered the TensorFlow library. We covered the TensorFlow data model elements, such as constants, variables, and placeholders, and how they can be used to build TensorFlow computation graphs. We learned how to create tensors from Python objects. Tensor objects can also be generated as specific values, sequences, or random valued distributions from various TensorFlow library functions. 

We covered the TensorFlow programming model, which includes defining and executing computation graphs. These computation graphs have nodes and edges. The nodes represent operations and edges represent tensors that transfer data from one node to another. We covered how to create and execute graphs, the order of execution, and how to execute graphs on multiple compute devices, such as CPU and GPU.

We also learned about machine learning and implemented a classification algorithm to identify the handwritten digits dataset. The algorithm we implemented is known as multinomial logistic regression. We used both TensorFlow core and Keras to implement the logistic regression algorithm.

Starting from the next chapter, we will look at many projects that will be implemented using TensorFlow and Keras.
