Mastering TensorFlow 1.x

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is the most popular numerical computation library built from the ground up for distributed, cloud, and mobile environments. TensorFlow represents the data as tensors and the computation as graphs. This book is a comprehensive guide that lets you explore the advanced features of TensorFlow 1.x. Gain insight into TensorFlow Core, Keras, TF Estimators, TFLearn, TF Slim, Pretty Tensor, and Sonnet. Leverage the power of TensorFlow and Keras to build deep learning models, using concepts such as transfer learning, generative adversarial networks, and deep reinforcement learning. Throughout the book, you will obtain hands-on experience with varied datasets, such as MNIST, CIFAR-10, PTB, text8, and COCO-Images. You will learn the advanced features of TensorFlow1.x, such as distributed TensorFlow with TF Clusters, deploy production models with TensorFlow Serving, and build and deploy TensorFlow models for mobile and embedded devices on Android and iOS platforms. You will see how to call TensorFlow and Keras API within the R statistical software, and learn the required techniques for debugging when the TensorFlow API-based code does not work as expected. The book helps you obtain in-depth knowledge of TensorFlow, making you the go-to person for solving artificial intelligence problems. By the end of this guide, you will have mastered the offerings of TensorFlow and Keras, and gained the skills you need to build smarter, faster, and efficient machine learning and deep learning systems.

LeNet for CIFAR10 Data

Now that we have learned to build and train the CNN model using MNIST data set with TensorFlow and Keras, let us repeat the exercise with CIFAR10 dataset.

The CIFAR-10 dataset consists of 60,000 RGB color images of the shape 32x32 pixels. The images are equally divided into 10 different categories or classes: airplane, automobile, bird, cat, deer, dog, frog, horse, ship, and truck. CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 are subsets of a large image dataset comprising of 80 million images. The CIFAR data sets were collected and labelled by Alex Krizhevsky, Vinod Nair, and Geoffrey Hinton. The numbers 10 and 100 represent the number of classes of images.
