Machine Learning Using TensorFlow Cookbook

By: Luca Massaron, Alexia Audevart, Konrad Banachewicz

Overview of this book

The independent recipes in Machine Learning Using TensorFlow Cookbook will teach you how to perform complex data computations and gain valuable insights into your data. Dive into recipes on training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, artificial neural networks, and deep learning - each using Google’s machine learning library, TensorFlow. This cookbook covers the fundamentals of the TensorFlow library, including variables, matrices, and various data sources. You’ll discover real-world implementations of Keras and TensorFlow and learn how to use estimators to train linear models and boosted trees, both for classification and regression. Explore the practical applications of a variety of deep learning architectures, such as recurrent neural networks and Transformers, and see how they can be used to solve computer vision and natural language processing (NLP) problems. With the help of this book, you will be proficient in using TensorFlow, understand deep learning from the basics, and be able to implement machine learning algorithms in real-world scenarios.

Managing Hyperparameter tuning with TensorBoard's HParams

Tuning hyperparameters in a machine learning project can be a real pain. The process is iterative and can take a long time to test all the hyperparameter combinations. But fortunately, HParams, a TensorBoard plugin, comes to the rescue. It allows testing to find the best combination of hyperparameters.

Getting ready

To illustrate how the HParams plugin works, we will use a sequential model implementation on the MNIST dataset. We'll configure HParams and compare several hyperparameter combinations in order to find the best hyperparameter optimization.

How to do it...

  1. First, we'll load the libraries necessary for the script:
    import tensorflow as tf
    from tensorboard.plugins.hparams import api as hp
    import numpy as np
    import datetime
    
  2. Next, we'll load and prepare the MNIST dataset:
    (x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = tf.keras.datasets.mnist.load_data...
