TensorFlow Machine Learning Projects

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.

OpenAI Gym 


OpenAI Gym is a Python-based toolkit for the development of reinforcement learning algorithms. It provides more than 700 open source contributed environments at the time of writing this book. Custom environments for OpenAI can also be created. OpenAI Gym provides a unified interface for working with reinforcement learning environments and takes care of running the simulation, while the user of OpenAI can focus on designing and implementing the reinforcement learning algorithms.

Note

The original research paper on OpenAI Gym is available at the following link: http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.01540.

Let's take a look at the following steps to learn how to install and explore OpenAI Gym:

  1. Install OpenAI Gym using the following command:
pip3 install gym

Note

If the preceding command does not work, then refer to the following link for further help with installation: https://github.com/openai/gym#installation

  1. Print the number of available environments in the OpenAI Gym with the following code:
