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 will let you dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. You’ll work through recipes on training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and deep learning – each using Google’s machine learning library TensorFlow. This guide starts with the fundamentals of the TensorFlow library which includes variables, matrices, and various data sources. Moving ahead, you will get hands-on experience with Linear Regression techniques with TensorFlow. The next chapters cover important high-level concepts such as neural networks, CNN, RNN, and NLP. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, the last chapter will show you how to take it to production.

Retraining Existing CNNs models


Training a new image recognition from scratch requires a lot of time and computational power. If we can take a prior trained network and retrain it with our images, it could save us computational time. For this recipe, we will show how to use a pre-trained TensorFlow image recognition model and fine-tune it to work on a different set of images.

Getting ready

Training a new image recognition from scratch requires a lot of time and computational power. If we can take a prior trained network and retrain it with our images, it could save us computational time. The idea is to reuse the weights and structure of a prior model from the convolutional layers and retrain the fully connected layers at the top of the network.

TensorFlow has created a tutorial about training on top of existing CNN models (refer to the first bullet point of the See also section). In this recipe, we will illustrate how to use the same methodology for CIFAR-10. The CNN network we are going to...
