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.

Reduction to linear regression

SVM can be used to fit linear regression. In this section, we will explore how to do this with TensorFlow.

Getting ready

The same maximum margin concept can be applied toward fitting linear regression. Instead of maximizing the margin that separates the classes, we can think about maximizing the margin that contains the most (x, y) points. To illustrate this, we will use the same iris dataset, and show that we can use this concept to fit a line between sepal length and petal width.

The corresponding loss function will be similar to . Here,is half of the width of the margin, which makes the loss equal to 0 if a point lies in this region.
