Overview of this book

Deep learning is the step that comes after machine learning, and has more advanced implementations. Machine learning is not just for academics anymore, but is becoming a mainstream practice through wide adoption, and deep learning has taken the front seat. As a data scientist, if you want to explore data abstraction layers, this book will be your guide. This book shows how this can be exploited in the real world with complex raw data using TensorFlow 1.x. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to implement deep learning algorithms for machine learning systems and integrate them into your product offerings, including search, image recognition, and language processing. Additionally, you’ll learn how to analyze and improve the performance of deep learning models. This can be done by comparing algorithms against benchmarks, along with machine intelligence, to learn from the information and determine ideal behaviors within a specific context. After finishing the book, you will be familiar with machine learning techniques, in particular the use of TensorFlow for deep learning, and will be ready to apply your knowledge to research or commercial projects.

Installing TensorFlow on Linux

In this section, we will show how to install TensorFlow on Ubuntu 14.04 or higher. The instructions presented here also might be applicable for other Linux distros.

Which TensorFlow to install on your platform?

However, before proceeding with the formal steps, we need to determine which TensorFlow to install on your platform. TensorFlow has been developed such that you can run data-intensive tensor application on GPU as well as CPU. Thus, you should choose one of the following types of TensorFlow to install on your platform:

  • TensorFlow with CPU support only: If there is no GPU such as NVIDIA installed on your machine, you must install and start computing using this version. This is very easy and you can do it in just 5 to 10 minutes...
