Deep Learning with TensorFlow

By: Giancarlo Zaccone, Md. Rezaul Karim, Ahmed Menshawy

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.

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "To save a model, we use the Saver() class."

A block of code is set as follows:

saver = tf.train.Saver()
save_path = saver.save(sess, "softmax_mnist")
print("Model saved to %s" % save_path)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

 $ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev

Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Click on the GRAPH tab you'll be able to see the computation graph with the auxiliary nodes."

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
Tips and tricks appear like this.
