Mastering TensorFlow 1.x

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is the most popular numerical computation library built from the ground up for distributed, cloud, and mobile environments. TensorFlow represents the data as tensors and the computation as graphs. This book is a comprehensive guide that lets you explore the advanced features of TensorFlow 1.x. Gain insight into TensorFlow Core, Keras, TF Estimators, TFLearn, TF Slim, Pretty Tensor, and Sonnet. Leverage the power of TensorFlow and Keras to build deep learning models, using concepts such as transfer learning, generative adversarial networks, and deep reinforcement learning. Throughout the book, you will obtain hands-on experience with varied datasets, such as MNIST, CIFAR-10, PTB, text8, and COCO-Images. You will learn the advanced features of TensorFlow1.x, such as distributed TensorFlow with TF Clusters, deploy production models with TensorFlow Serving, and build and deploy TensorFlow models for mobile and embedded devices on Android and iOS platforms. You will see how to call TensorFlow and Keras API within the R statistical software, and learn the required techniques for debugging when the TensorFlow API-based code does not work as expected. The book helps you obtain in-depth knowledge of TensorFlow, making you the go-to person for solving artificial intelligence problems. By the end of this guide, you will have mastered the offerings of TensorFlow and Keras, and gained the skills you need to build smarter, faster, and efficient machine learning and deep learning systems.

OpenAI Gym 101

OpenAI Gym is a Python-based toolkit for the research and development of reinforcement learning algorithms. OpenAI Gym provides more than 700 opensource contributed environments at the time of writing. With OpenAI, you can also create your own environments. The biggest advantage is that OpenAI provides a unified interface for working with these environments, and takes care of running the simulation while you focus on the reinforcement learning algorithms.

The research paper describing OpenAI Gym is available at this link: http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.01540.

You can install OpenAI Gym using the following command:

pip3 install gym
If the above command does not work, then you can find further help with installation at the following link: https://github.com/openai/gym#installation.
