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

9. Recurrent Neural Networks

Activity 9.01: Building an RNN with Multiple LSTM Layers to Predict Power Consumption

Solution:

Perform the following steps to complete this activity.

  1. Open a new Jupyter or Colab notebook.
  2. Import the libraries needed. Use numpy, pandas, datetime, and MinMaxScaler to scale the dataset between zero and one:
    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd
    import datetime
    from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
  3. Use the read_csv() function to read in your CSV file and store your dataset in a pandas DataFrame, data:
    data = pd.read_csv("household_power_consumption.csv")
  4. Create a new column, Datetime, by combining Date and Time columns using the following code:
    data['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(data['Date'], format="%d/%m/%Y")
    data['Datetime'] = data['Date'].dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') + ' ' \
