Hands-On Deep Learning with TensorFlow

By: Dan Van Boxel

Overview of this book

Dan Van Boxel’s Deep Learning with TensorFlow is based on Dan’s best-selling TensorFlow video course. With deep learning going mainstream, making sense of data and getting accurate results using deep networks is possible. Dan Van Boxel will be your guide to exploring the possibilities with deep learning; he will enable you to understand data like never before. With the efficiency and simplicity of TensorFlow, you will be able to process your data and gain insights that will change how you look at data. With Dan’s guidance, you will dig deeper into the hidden layers of abstraction using raw data. Dan then shows you various complex algorithms for deep learning and various examples that use these deep neural networks. You will also learn how to train your machine to craft new features to make sense of deeper layers of data. In this book, Dan shares his knowledge across topics such as logistic regression, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, training deep networks, and high level interfaces. With the help of novel practical examples, you will become an ace at advanced multilayer networks, image recognition, and beyond.

The future of TensorFlow


In this section, we will observe how TensorFlow is changing, who is starting to use TensorFlow, and how you can make an impact contributing to it.

Since it was released in late 2015, TensorFlow has already seen several more releases:

TensorFlow is constantly being updated. Although it isn't an official Google product, it is also open source and hosted on GitHub. At the time of writing, TensorFlow is at release 1.2. The most recent release added distributed computing capabilities. These are beyond the scope of this book, but generally speaking, they allow computation across multiple GPUs on multiple machines for maximum parallelization. Under heavy development, more features are always just around the corner. TensorFlow is becoming more popular every day.

Several software companies have released machine learning frameworks recently, but TensorFlow stands out in adoption. Internally, Google is practicing what they preach. Their acclaimed DeepMind team has switched to...
