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 the results obtained


Let's try to understand how good our predictions are for each of the stocks:

  • Netflix (NFLX): The following diagram illustrates the prices of the Netflix stock from 2002 through 2018:

The price for the year 2018 is defined using the two vertical lines. It shows the growth in the price of the stock throughout the entire year.

As per the first problem case, we consider the period from 2008-2016 for training:

Normalizing the prices by each year for modeling gives us the following plot:

Predicting the prices of the stock for the whole year of 2017 with a 95% confidence interval gives us the following plot:

Comparing of the generated values with the actual values, it is clear that the model falters by predicting the value to be less than the actual value. However, the reason for this could be the highs and lows of the prices of Netflix in the year 2016. These are not captured through the basic-level kernel used in this project.

For the second problem case, we consider...
