Deep Learning with TensorFlow

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 Windows

If you can't get a Linux-based system, you must install Ubuntu on a virtual machine; just use a free application called VirtualBox, which lets you create a virtual PC on Windows and install Ubuntu in it. TensorFlow only supports version 3.5.x of Python on Windows. Note that Python 3.5.x comes with the pip3 package manager, which is the program you'll use to install TensorFlow. To install TensorFlow, start a command prompt and then issue the appropriate pip3 install command in that terminal. To install the CPU-only version of TensorFlow, enter the following command:

C:> pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow 

To install the GPU version of TensorFlow, enter the following command:

C:> pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu
