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.

Understanding Bayes' rule


Let us begin by reviewing the Bayes' rule and it's associated terminology, before we start with our project. 

Bayes' rule is used to describe the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event. For example, let's say we want to predict the probability a person having diabetes. If we know the preliminary medical test results, we can hope to get a more accurate prediction than when we don't know results of the test. Let's put some numbers around this to understand mathematically:

  • 1% of population has diabetes ( and therefore 99% do not)
  • Preliminary tests detect diabetes 80% of the time when it is there ( therefore 20% of time we require advanced tests)
  • 10% of time preliminary test detect diabetes even when it is not there (therefore 90% of time they give the correct result):

Diabetes (1%)

No diabetes (99%)

Test Positive

80%

10%

Test Negative

20%

90%

 

 

So, if a person has diabetes, we will be looking at first column and he has...
