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.

Understanding word embeddings


Word embeddings refer to the class of feature learning techniques in Natural Language Processing (NLP) that are used to generate a real valued vector representation of a word, sentence, or document.

Many machine learning tasks today involve text. For example, Google's language translation or spam detection in Gmail both use text as input to their models to perform the tasks of translation and spam detection. However, modern day computers can only take real valued numbers as input and can't understand strings or text unless we encode them into numbers or vectors.

For example, let's consider a sentence, "I like Football", for which we want a representation of all of the words. A brute force method to generate the embeddings of the three words "I", "like", and "Football" is done through the one hot representation of words. In this case, the embeddings are given as follows:

  • "I" = [1,0,0]
  • "like" = [0,1,0]
  • "Football" = [0,0,1]

The idea is to create a vector that has a dimension...
