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.

Preface

TensorFlow Hub

TensorFlow Hub is a repository of TensorFlow modules shared by publishers such as Google, NVIDIA, and Kaggle. TensorFlow modules are self-contained models built on TensorFlow that can be reused for different tasks. Put simply, it is an external collection of published TensorFlow modules for transfer learning and fine-tuning. With TensorFlow Hub, you can access different deep learning models or weights than the ones provided directly from TensorFlow's core API.

Note

You can find more information about TensorFlow Hub here: https://tfhub.dev/.

In order to use it, you first need to install it:

pip install tensorflow-hub

Once it's installed, you can load available classification models with the load() method by specifying the link to a module:

import tensorflow_hub as hub
MODULE_HANDLE = 'https://tfhub.dev/tensorflow/efficientnet'\
