Learn TensorFlow Enterprise

By: KC Tung

Overview of this book

TensorFlow as a machine learning (ML) library has matured into a production-ready ecosystem. This beginner’s book uses practical examples to enable you to build and deploy TensorFlow models using optimal settings that ensure long-term support without having to worry about library deprecation or being left behind when it comes to bug fixes or workarounds. The book begins by showing you how to refine your TensorFlow project and set it up for enterprise-level deployment. You’ll then learn how to choose a future-proof version of TensorFlow. As you advance, you’ll find out how to build and deploy models in a robust and stable environment by following recommended practices made available in TensorFlow Enterprise. This book also teaches you how to manage your services better and enhance the performance and reliability of your artificial intelligence (AI) applications. You’ll discover how to use various enterprise-ready services to accelerate your ML and AI workflows on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Finally, you’ll scale your ML models and handle heavy workloads across CPUs, GPUs, and Cloud TPUs. By the end of this TensorFlow book, you’ll have learned the patterns needed for TensorFlow Enterprise model development, data pipelines, training, and deployment.

Converting tabular data to a TensorFlow dataset

Tabular or comma separated values (CSV) data with fixed schemas and data types are commonly encountered. We typically work it into a pandas DataFrame. We have seen in the previous chapter how this can be easily done when the data is hosted in a BigQuery table (the BigQuery magic command that returns a query result to a pandas DataFrame by default).

Let's take a look at how to handle data that can fit into the memory. In this example, we are going to read a public dataset using the BigQuery magic command, so we can easily obtain the data in a pandas DataFrame. Then we are going to convert it to a TensorFlow dataset. A TensorFlow dataset is the data structure for streaming training data in batches without using up the compute node's runtime memory.

Converting a BigQuery table to a TensorFlow dataset

Each of the following steps is executed in a cell. Again, use any of the AI platforms you prefer (AI Notebook, Deep Learning...
