TensorFlow Machine Learning Projects

Overview of this book

TensorFlow has transformed the way machine learning is perceived. TensorFlow Machine Learning Projects teaches you how to exploit the benefits—simplicity, efficiency, and flexibility—of using TensorFlow in various real-world projects. With the help of this book, you’ll not only learn how to build advanced projects using different datasets but also be able to tackle common challenges using a range of libraries from the TensorFlow ecosystem. To start with, you’ll get to grips with using TensorFlow for machine learning projects; you’ll explore a wide range of projects using TensorForest and TensorBoard for detecting exoplanets, TensorFlow.js for sentiment analysis, and TensorFlow Lite for digit classification. As you make your way through the book, you’ll build projects in various real-world domains, incorporating natural language processing (NLP), the Gaussian process, autoencoders, recommender systems, and Bayesian neural networks, along with trending areas such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), capsule networks, and reinforcement learning. You’ll learn how to use the TensorFlow on Spark API and GPU-accelerated computing with TensorFlow to detect objects, followed by how to train and develop a recurrent neural network (RNN) model to generate book scripts. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the required expertise to build full-fledged machine learning projects at work.

Understanding capsules


In traditional CNNs, we define different filters that run over the entire image. The 2D matrices produced by each filter are stacked on top of one another to constitute the output of a convolutional layer. Subsequently, we perform the max pooling operation to find the invariance in activities. Invariance here implies that the output is robust to small changes in the input as the max pooling operation always picks up the max activity. As mentioned previously, max pooling results in the valuable loss of information and is unable to represent the relative orientation of different objects to others in the image.

Capsules, on the other hand, encode all of the information of the objects they are detecting in a vector form as opposed to a scalar output by a neuron. These vectors have the following properties:

  • The length of the vector indicates the probability of an object in the image.
  • Different elements of the vector encode different properties of the object. These properties...
