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.

Building a fraud detection model


For this project, we are going to use the credit card dataset from Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/mlg-ulb/creditcardfraud), Andrea Dal Pozzolo, Olivier Caelen, Reid A. Johnson and Gianluca Bontempi. Calibrating Probability with Undersampling for Unbalanced Classification. In Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM), IEEE, 2015. It consists of credit card transaction data from two days, from European cardholders. The dataset is highly imbalanced and contains approximately 284,000 pieces of transaction data with 492 instances of fraud (0.172% of the total).

There are 31 numerical columns in the dataset. Two of them are time and amount. Time denotes the amount of time elapsed (in seconds) between each transaction and the first transaction in the dataset. Amount is the total amount regarding the transaction. For our model, we will eliminate the time column as it doesn't help with the accuracy of the model. The rest of the features (V1, V2...
