TensorFlow Machine Learning Projects

By: Ankit Jain, Amita Kapoor

Overview of this book

TensorFlow has transformed the way machine learning is perceived. TensorFlow Machine Learning Projects teaches you how to exploit the benefits—simplicity, efficiency, and flexibility—of using TensorFlow in various real-world projects. With the help of this book, you’ll not only learn how to build advanced projects using different datasets but also be able to tackle common challenges using a range of libraries from the TensorFlow ecosystem. To start with, you’ll get to grips with using TensorFlow for machine learning projects; you’ll explore a wide range of projects using TensorForest and TensorBoard for detecting exoplanets, TensorFlow.js for sentiment analysis, and TensorFlow Lite for digit classification. As you make your way through the book, you’ll build projects in various real-world domains, incorporating natural language processing (NLP), the Gaussian process, autoencoders, recommender systems, and Bayesian neural networks, along with trending areas such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), capsule networks, and reinforcement learning. You’ll learn how to use the TensorFlow on Spark API and GPU-accelerated computing with TensorFlow to detect objects, followed by how to train and develop a recurrent neural network (RNN) model to generate book scripts. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the required expertise to build full-fledged machine learning projects at work.

What is TensorFlow?

TensorFlow is a popular open source library that's used for implementing machine learning and deep learning. It was initially built at Google for internal consumption and was released publicly on November 9, 2015. Since then, TensorFlow has been extensively used to develop machine learning and deep learning models in several business domains. 

To use TensorFlow in our projects, we need to learn how to program using the TensorFlow API. TensorFlow has multiple APIs that can be used to interact with the library. The TensorFlow APIs are divided into two levels:

  • Low-level API: The API known as TensorFlow core provides fine-grained lower level functionality. Because of this, this low-level API offers complete control while being used on models. We will cover TensorFlow core in this chapter.
  • High-level API: These APIs provide high-level functionalities that have been built on TensorFlow core and are comparatively easier to learn and implement. Some high-level APIs include Estimators, Keras, TFLearn, TFSlim, and Sonnet. We will also cover Keras in this chapter.
