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 TensorFlow probability, variational inference, and Monte Carlo methods

TensorFlow Probability (tfp in code – https://www.tensorflow.org/probability/overview#layer_2_model_building) was recently released by Google to perform probabilistic reasoning in a scalable manner. It provides tools and functionalities to define distributions, build neural networks with prior on weights, and perform probabilistic inference tasks such as Monte Carlo or Variational Inference.

Let's take a look at some of the functions/utilities we will be using for building our model:

  • Tfp.distributions.categorical: This is a standard categorical distribution that's characterized by probabilities or log-probabilities over K classes. In this project, we have Traffic Sign images from 43 different traffic signs. We will define a categorical distribution over 43 classes in this project.
  • Probabilistic layers: Built on top of the TensorFlow layers implementation, probabilistic layers incorporate uncertainty over the...
