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 Lite Demo on Android

To build a TF Lite demo on Android, follow these steps:

  1. Install Android Studio. We installed Android Studio on Ubuntu 16.04 from the instructions at the following link: https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html
  2. Check out the TensorFlow repository, and apply the patch mentioned in the previous tip. Let's assume you checked out the code in the tensorflow folder in your home directory.
  1. Using Android Studio, open the Android project from the path ~/tensorflow/tensorflow/contrib/lite/java/demo. If it complains about a missing SDK or Gradle components, please install those components and sync Gradle.
  2. Build the project and run it on a virtual device with API > 21.
We received the following warnings, but the build succeeded. You may want to resolve the warnings if the build fails:
