TensorFlow 2.0 Quick Start Guide

By: Tony Holdroyd

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is one of the most popular machine learning frameworks in Python. With this book, you will improve your knowledge of some of the latest TensorFlow features and will be able to perform supervised and unsupervised machine learning and also train neural networks. After giving you an overview of what's new in TensorFlow 2.0 Alpha, the book moves on to setting up your machine learning environment using the TensorFlow library. You will perform popular supervised machine learning tasks using techniques such as linear regression, logistic regression, and clustering. You will get familiar with unsupervised learning for autoencoder applications. The book will also show you how to train effective neural networks using straightforward examples in a variety of different domains. By the end of the book, you will have been exposed to a large variety of machine learning and neural network TensorFlow techniques.

Housekeeping and eager operations

We will first look at how to import TensorFlow, then TensorFlow coding style, and how to do some basic housekeeping. After this, we will look at some basic TensorFlow operations. You can either create a Jupyter Notebook for these snippets or use your favorite IDE to create your source code. The code is all available in the GitHub repository.

Importing TensorFlow

Importing TensorFlow is straightforward. Note a couple of system checks:

import tensorflow as tf
print("TensorFlow version: {}".format(tf.__version__))
print("Eager execution is: {}".format(tf.executing_eagerly()))
print("Keras version: {}".format(tf.keras.__version__))
