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.

Content-based filtering


Content-based filtering is based on creating a detailed model of the content from which recommendations are made, such as the text of books, attributes of movies, or information about music. The content model is generally represented as a vector space model. Some of the common models for transforming content into vector space models are TFIDF, the Bag-of-words model, Word2Vec, GloVe, and Item2Vec. 

Along with the content model, a user profile is also created using information about the user. Content is recommended based on matching the user profile with the content model.

Advantages of content-based filtering algorithms

The following are the advantages of content-based filtering algorithms:

  • Eliminates the cold-start problem for new items: If we have enough information about the users, and detailed information about the new content, then the cold-start problem found in collaborative filtering algorithms does not affect content-based algorithms. The recommendation can be...
