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.

Working with Batch and Stochastic Training

While TensorFlow updates our model variables according to the prior described back propagation, it can operate on anywhere from one datum observation to a large group of data at once. Operating on one training example can make for a very erratic learning process, while using a too large batch can be computationally expensive. Choosing the right type of training is crucial to getting our machine learning algorithms to converge to a solution.

Getting ready

In order for TensorFlow to compute the variable gradients for back propagation to work, we have to measure the loss on a sample or multiple samples. Stochastic training is only putting through one randomly sampled data-target pair at a time, just like we did in the previous recipe. Another option is to put a larger portion of the training examples in at a time and average the loss for the gradient calculation. Batch training size can vary up to and including the whole dataset at once. Here we will...
