Hands-On Neural Networks with TensorFlow 2.0

By: Paolo Galeone

Overview of this book

TensorFlow, the most popular and widely used machine learning framework, has made it possible for almost anyone to develop machine learning solutions with ease. With TensorFlow (TF) 2.0, you'll explore a revamped framework structure, offering a wide variety of new features aimed at improving productivity and ease of use for developers. This book covers machine learning with a focus on developing neural network-based solutions. You'll start by getting familiar with the concepts and techniques required to build solutions to deep learning problems. As you advance, you’ll learn how to create classifiers, build object detection and semantic segmentation networks, train generative models, and speed up the development process using TF 2.0 tools such as TensorFlow Datasets and TensorFlow Hub. By the end of this TensorFlow book, you'll be ready to solve any machine learning problem by developing solutions using TF 2.0 and putting them into production.

Unconditional GANs

It isn't common to see GANs mentioned as unconditional since this is the default and original configuration. In this book, however, we decided to stress this characteristic of the original GAN formulation in order to make you aware of the two main GAN classifications:

  • Unconditional GANs
  • Conditional GANs

The generative model that we described in the previous section falls under the category of unconditional GANs. The generative model is trained to capture the training data distribution and to generate samples that have been randomly sampled from the captured distribution. The conditional configuration is a slightly modified version of the framework and is presented in the next section.

Thanks to TensorFlow 2.0's eager-by-default style, the implementation of adversarial training is straightforward. In practice, to implement the adversarial training...
