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.

Chapter 11. Making Quality Product Recommendations Using TensorFlow

When you visit Amazon, Netflix, or your other favorite websites, or use any modern app such as Spotify or Pandora, you will have noticed that they recommend different items to you. These recommendations are created using recommendation system algorithms. Before machine learning based recommendations systems, the recommendations were generated with rule-based systems. However, with the advent of machine learning and neural networks, recommendations have become more accurate. 

In this chapter, we'll learn about recommendation systems. We'll use the Retailrocket dataset to implement a recommendation system in two different ways, using TensorFlow and Keras.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Recommendation systems
  • Content-based filtering
  • Collaborative filtering
  • Hybrid systems
  • Matrix factorization
  • Introducing the Retailrocket dataset
  • Exploring the Retailrocket dataset
  • Preprocessing the data
  • The matrix factorization model...
