Overview of this book

TensorFlow is one of the most popular frameworks used for machine learning and, more recently, deep learning. It provides a fast and efficient framework for training different kinds of deep learning models, with very high accuracy. This book is your guide to master deep learning with TensorFlow with the help of 10 real-world projects. TensorFlow Deep Learning Projects starts with setting up the right TensorFlow environment for deep learning. You'll learn how to train different types of deep learning models using TensorFlow, including Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, LSTMs, and Generative Adversarial Networks. While doing this, you will build end-to-end deep learning solutions to tackle different real-world problems in image processing, recommendation systems, stock prediction, and building chatbots, to name a few. You will also develop systems that perform machine translation and use reinforcement learning techniques to play games. By the end of this book, you will have mastered all the concepts of deep learning and their implementation with TensorFlow, and will be able to build and train your own deep learning models with TensorFlow confidently.

Mapping with Word2vec embeddings

Very broadly, Word2vec models are two-layer neural networks that take a text corpus as input and output a vector for every word in that corpus. After fitting, the words with similar meaning have their vectors close to each other, that is, the distance between them is small compared to the distance between the vectors for words that have very different meanings.

Nowadays, Word2vec has become a standard in natural language processing problems and often it provides very useful insights into information retrieval tasks. For this particular problem, we will be using the Google news vectors. This is a pretrained Word2vec model trained on the Google News corpus.

Every word, when represented by its Word2vec vector, gets a position in space, as depicted in the following diagram:

All the words in this example, such as Germany, Berlin, France, and Paris...
