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.

Chapter 7. Credit Card Fraud Detection using Autoencoders

The digital world is growing rapidly. We are used to performing many of our daily tasks online, such as booking cabs, shopping on e-commerce websites, and even recharging our phones. For the majority of these tasks, we are used to paying with credit cards. However, it is a known fact that a credit card can be compromised, which could result in a fraudulent transaction. The Nilson report estimates that for every $100 spent, seven cents are stolen. It estimates the total credit card fraud market to be around $30 billion.

Detecting whether a transaction is fraudulent or not is a very impactful data science problem. Every bank that issues credit cards invests in technology to detect fraud and take the appropriate actions immediately. There are lot of standard supervised learning techniques such as logistic regression, from random forest to classifying fraud.

In this chapter, we will take a closer look at an unsupervised approach to detecting...
