TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook - Second Edition

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 allow you to dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. With the help of this book, you will work with recipes for training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and more. You will explore RNNs, CNNs, GANs, reinforcement learning, and capsule networks, each using Google's machine learning library, TensorFlow. Through real-world examples, you will get hands-on experience with linear regression techniques with TensorFlow. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, you will be shown how to take it to production. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in the field of machine intelligence using TensorFlow. You will also have good insight into deep learning and be capable of implementing machine learning algorithms in real-world scenarios.

Evaluating models

We have already learned how to train a regression and classification algorithm in TensorFlow. After this, we must be able to evaluate the model's predictions to determine how well it did.

Getting ready

Evaluating models is very important and every subsequent model will have some form of model evaluation. Using TensorFlow, we must build this feature into the computational graph and call it while our model is training and/or after it has finished training.

Evaluating models during training gives us an insight into the algorithm and may give us hints to debug it, improve it, or change models entirely. While evaluation during training isn't always necessary, we will show how to do it with both regression...
