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.

Questions


  • How is gradient boosting different from random forests?
  • How can you improve the performance of random forests?
  • How can you improve the performance of gradient boosting trees?
  • How to ensure that gradient boosting trees and random forests do not overfit?
  • Modify the model in this chapter with different parameters such as the number of trees, batch size, number of epochs and number of steps and observe their effect on training time and different levels of accuracy.
