Overview of this book

Getting to grips with tensors, deep learning, and neural networks can be intimidating and confusing for anyone, no matter their experience level. The breadth of information out there, often written at a very high level and aimed at advanced practitioners, can make getting started even more challenging. If this sounds familiar to you, The TensorFlow Workshop is here to help. Combining clear explanations, realistic examples, and plenty of hands-on practice, it’ll quickly get you up and running. You’ll start off with the basics – learning how to load data into TensorFlow, perform tensor operations, and utilize common optimizers and activation functions. As you progress, you’ll experiment with different TensorFlow development tools, including TensorBoard, TensorFlow Hub, and Google Colab, before moving on to solve regression and classification problems with sequential models. Building on this solid foundation, you’ll learn how to tune models and work with different types of neural network, getting hands-on with real-world deep learning applications such as text encoding, temperature forecasting, image augmentation, and audio processing. By the end of this deep learning book, you’ll have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to tackle your own ambitious deep learning projects with TensorFlow.

Hyperparameter Tuning

Previously, you saw how to deal with a model that is overfitting by using different regularization techniques. These techniques help the model to better generalize to unseen data but, as you have seen, they can also lead to inferior performance and make the model underfit.

With neural networks, data scientists have access to different hyperparameters they can tune to improve the performance of a model. For example, you can try different learning rates and see whether one leads to better results, you can try different numbers of units for each hidden layer of a network, or you can test to see whether different ratios of dropout can achieve a better trade-off between overfitting and underfitting.

However, the choice of one hyperparameter can impact the effect of another one. So, as the number of hyperparameters and values you want to tune grows, the number of combinations to be tested will increase exponentially. It will also take a lot of time to train...
