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.

TF Mobile demo on Android

In this section, we shall learn about recreating the Android demo app provided by the TensorFlow team in their official repo. The Android demo will install the following four apps on your Android device:

  • TF Classify: This is an object identification app that identifies the images in the input from the device camera and classifies them in one of the pre-defined classes. It does not learn new types of pictures but tries to classify them into one of the categories that it has already learned. The app is built using the inception model pre-trained by Google.
  • TF Detect: This is an object detection app that detects multiple objects in the input from the device camera. It continues to identify the objects as you move the camera around in continuous picture feed mode.
  • TF Stylize: This is a style transfer app that transfers one of the selected predefined styles...
