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 4. Digit Classification Using TensorFlow Lite

There has been a lot of progress in the field of machine learning (ML) in the last five years. These days, a variety of ML applications are being used in our daily lives and we don't even realize it. Since ML has taken the spotlight, it would be helpful if we could use it to run deep models on mobile devices, which is one of the most used devices in our daily life.

Innovation in mobile hardware, coupled with new software frameworks for deploying ML models on mobile devices, is proving to be one of the major accelerators for developing ML based applications on mobile or other edge devices like tablet..

In this chapter, we will learn about Google's new library, TensorFlow Lite, which can be used to deploy ML models on mobile devices. We will train a deep learning model on the MNIST digits dataset and look at how we can convert this model into a mobile-friendly format by understanding the following concepts:
