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.

Working with Skip-Gram embeddings

In the previous recipes, we decided on our textual embeddings before training the model. With neural networks, we can make the embedding values part of the training procedure. The first such method we will explore is called Skip-Gram embedding.

Getting ready

Prior to this recipe, we have not considered the order of words to be relevant in creating word embeddings. In early 2013, Tomas Mikolov and other researchers at Google authored a paper about creating word embeddings that addressed this issue (https://arxiv.org/abs/1301.3781), and they named their method word2vec.

The basic idea is to create word embeddings that capture the relational aspect of words. We seek to understand how various...
