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.

Neural network architecture


The network used for this example has three modules:

  •  A feature extraction module that processes the audio clips into feature vectors
  • A deep neural network module that produces softmax probabilities for each word in the input frame of feature vectors
  • A posterior handling module that combines the frame-level posterior scores into a single score for each keyword

Feature extraction module

In order to make the computation easy, the incoming audio signal is run through a voice-activity detection system and the signal is divided into speech and non-speech parts of the signals. The voice activity detector uses a 30-component diagonal covariance GMM model. The input to this model is 13-dimensional PLP features, their deltas, and double deltas. The output of GMM is passed to a State Machine that does temporal smoothing.

The output of this GMM-SM module is speech and non-speech parts of the signal.

The speech parts of the signal are further processed to generate the features....
