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.

Applying models from TensorFlow Hub

TensorFlow Hub contains many reusable models. For example, in image classification tasks, there are pretrained models such as Inception V3, ResNet of different versions, as well as feature vectors available. In this chapter, we will take a look at how to load and use a ResNet feature vector model for image classification of our own images. The images are five types of flowers: daisy, dandelion, roses, sunflowers, and tulips. We will use the tf.keras API to get these images for our use:

  1. You may use Google Cloud AI Platform's JupyterLab environment for this work. Once you are in the AI Platform's JupyterLab environment, you may start by importing the necessary modules and download the images:
    import tensorflow as tf
    import tensorflow_hub as hub
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np
    data_dir = tf.keras.utils.get_file(
        'flower_photos',
