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.

Google Speech Commands Dataset


The Google Speech Commands Dataset was created by the TensorFlow and AIY teams to showcase the speech recognition example using the TensorFlow API. The dataset has 65,000 clips of one-second-long duration. Each clip contains one of the 30 different words spoken by thousands of different subjects. 

Note

The Google Speech Commands Dataset is available from the following link: http://download.tensorflow.org/data/speech_commands_v0.02.tar.gz.

The clips were recorded in realistic environments with phones and laptops. The 35 words contained noise words and the ten command words most useful in a robotics environment, and are listed as follows:

  • Yes
  • No
  • Up
  • Down
  • Left
  • Right
  • On
  • Off
  • Stop
  • Go

More details on how the speech dataset is prepared can be found in the following links:

With this dataset, thus the problem that shown in the example in this chapter is known as Keyword Spotting...
