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.

The dynamic routing algorithm


As mentioned earlier, it is necessary for the capsule in the lower layer to decide how to send its output to the higher-level capsules. This is achieved through the novel concept of the dynamic routing algorithm, which was introduced in the paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.09829.pdf). The key idea behind this algorithm is that the lower layer capsule will send their output to the higher-level capsules that match the input. 

This is achieved through the weights (cij) mentioned in the last section. These weights multiply the outputs from the lower layer capsule i before pushing them as the input to the higher level capsule j. Some of the properties of these weights are as follows:

  • cijs are non-negative in nature and are determined by the dynamic-routing algorithm
  • The number of weights in the lower layer capsule is equal to the number of higher-level capsules
  • The sum of the weights of each lower layer capsule i amounts to 1
