Overview of this book

This Learning Path is your complete guide to quickly getting to grips with popular machine learning algorithms. You'll be introduced to the most widely used algorithms in supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised machine learning, and learn how to use them in the best possible manner. Ranging from Bayesian models to the MCMC algorithm to Hidden Markov models, this Learning Path will teach you how to extract features from your dataset and perform dimensionality reduction by making use of Python-based libraries. You'll bring the use of TensorFlow and Keras to build deep learning models, using concepts such as transfer learning, generative adversarial networks, and deep reinforcement learning. Next, you'll learn the advanced features of TensorFlow1.x, such as distributed TensorFlow with TF clusters, deploy production models with TensorFlow Serving. You'll implement different techniques related to object classification, object detection, image segmentation, and more. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll have obtained in-depth knowledge of TensorFlow, making you the go-to person for solving artificial intelligence problems This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Mastering Machine Learning Algorithms by Giuseppe Bonaccorso • Mastering TensorFlow 1.x by Armando Fandango • Deep Learning for Computer Vision by Rajalingappaa Shanmugamani

Simple linear regression


You might have used other machine learning libraries; now let's practice learning the simple linear regression model using TensorFlow. We will explain the concepts first using a generated dataset before moving on to domain-specific examples.

We will use generated datasets so that readers from all different domains can learn without getting overwhelmed with the details of the specific domain of the example.

Note

You can follow along with the code in the Jupyter notebook ch-04a_Regression.

Data preparation

To generate the dataset, we use the  make_regression function from the datasets module of the sklearn library:

from sklearn import datasets as skds
X, y = skds.make_regression(n_samples=200,
                            n_features=1,
                            n_informative=1,
                            n_targets=1,
                            noise = 20.0)

This generates a dataset for regression with 200 sample values for one feature and one target each, with some noise...
