TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook

By: Nick McClure

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.

Introduction


Linear regression may be one of the most important algorithms in statistics, machine learning, and science in general. It's one of the most used algorithms and it is very important to understand how to implement it and its various flavors. One of the advantages that linear regression has over many other algorithms is that it is very interpretable. We end up with a number for each feature that directly represents how that feature influences the target or dependent variable. In this chapter, we will introduce how linear regression can be classically implemented, and then move on to how to best implement it in TensorFlow. Remember that all the code is available at GitHub online at https://github.com/nfmcclure/tensorflow_cookbook.
