TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook - Second Edition

By: Nick McClure

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is an open source software library for Machine Intelligence. The independent recipes in this book will teach you how to use TensorFlow for complex data computations and allow you to dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. With the help of this book, you will work with recipes for training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and more. You will explore RNNs, CNNs, GANs, reinforcement learning, and capsule networks, each using Google's machine learning library, TensorFlow. Through real-world examples, you will get hands-on experience with linear regression techniques with TensorFlow. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, you will be shown how to take it to production. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in the field of machine intelligence using TensorFlow. You will also have good insight into deep learning and be capable of implementing machine learning algorithms in real-world scenarios.

The TensorFlow Way

In this chapter, we will introduce the key components of how TensorFlow operates. Then, we will tie it together to create a simple classifier and evaluate the outcomes. By the end of the chapter, you should have learned about the following:

  • Operations in a computational graph
  • Layering nested operations
  • Working with multiple layers
  • Implementing loss functions
  • Implementing backpropagation
  • Working with batch and stochastic training
  • Combining everything together
  • Evaluating models
