Overview of this book

TensorFlow is an open source software library for Machine Intelligence. The independent recipes in this book will teach you how to use TensorFlow for complex data computations and will let you dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. You’ll work through recipes on training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and deep learning – each using Google’s machine learning library TensorFlow. This guide starts with the fundamentals of the TensorFlow library which includes variables, matrices, and various data sources. Moving ahead, you will get hands-on experience with Linear Regression techniques with TensorFlow. The next chapters cover important high-level concepts such as neural networks, CNN, RNN, and NLP. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, the last chapter will show you how to take it to production.

Visualizing graphs in Tensorboard


Monitoring and troubleshooting machine learning algorithms can be a daunting task. Especially if you have to wait a long time for the training to complete before you know the results. To work around this, TensorFlow includes a computational graph visualization tool called Tensorboard. With Tensorboard, we can visualize and graph important values (loss, accuracy, batch training time, and so on) even during training.

Getting ready

To illustrate the various ways we can use Tensorboard, we will reimplement the linear regression model from The TensorFlow way of linear regressionrecipe in Chapter 3, Linear Regression. We'll generate linear data with errors, and use TensorFlow loss and backpropagation to fit a line to the data. We will show how to monitor numerical values, histograms of sets of values, andhow to create an image in Tensorboard.

How to do it…

  1. First,we'll load the libraries necessary for the script:

    import os
    import io
    import time
    import numpy as np
    import...
