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.

Understanding loss functions in linear regression

It is important to know the effect of loss functions in algorithm convergence. Here, we will illustrate how the L1 and L2 loss functions affect convergence and predictions in linear regression. This is the first customization that we are applying to our canned Keras Estimator. More recipes in this chapter will enhance that initial Estimator by adding more functionality.

Getting ready

We will use the same Boston Housing dataset as in the previous recipe, as well as utilize the following functions:

* define_feature_columns_layers
* make_input_fn
* create_interactions

However, we will change our loss functions and learning rates to see how convergence changes.

How to do it...

We proceed with the recipe as follows:

The start of the program is the same as the last recipe. We therefore load the necessary packages and also we download the Boston Housing dataset, if it is not already available:
