Overview of this book

TensorFlow is one of the most popular frameworks used for machine learning and, more recently, deep learning. It provides a fast and efficient framework for training different kinds of deep learning models, with very high accuracy. This book is your guide to master deep learning with TensorFlow with the help of 10 real-world projects. TensorFlow Deep Learning Projects starts with setting up the right TensorFlow environment for deep learning. You'll learn how to train different types of deep learning models using TensorFlow, including Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, LSTMs, and Generative Adversarial Networks. While doing this, you will build end-to-end deep learning solutions to tackle different real-world problems in image processing, recommendation systems, stock prediction, and building chatbots, to name a few. You will also develop systems that perform machine translation and use reinforcement learning techniques to play games. By the end of this book, you will have mastered all the concepts of deep learning and their implementation with TensorFlow, and will be able to build and train your own deep learning models with TensorFlow confidently.

Recommender systems

The task of a recommender system is to take a list of all possible items and rank them according to preferences of particular users. This ranked list is referred to as a personalized ranking, or, more often, as a recommendation.

For example, a shopping website may have a section with recommendations where users can see items that they may find relevant and could decide to buy. Websites selling tickets to concerts may recommend interesting shows, and an online music player may suggest songs that the user is likely to enjoy. Or a website with online courses, such as Coursera.org, may recommend a course similar to ones the user has already finished:

Course recommendation on website

The recommendations are typically based on historical data: the past transaction history, visits, and clicks that the users have made. So, a recommender system is a system that takes...
