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.

Understanding the syntax and use of Keras Tuner

For the most part, as far as Keras Tuner is concerned, hyperparameters can be described by the following three data types: integers, floating points, and choices from a list of discrete values or objects. In the following sub-sections, we will take a closer look at how to use these data types to define hyperparameters in different parts of the model architecture and training workflow.

Using hp.Int for hyperparameter definition

Keras Tuner defines a search space with a very simple and intuitive style. To define a set of possible number of nodes in a given layer, you typically would have a layer definition like the this:

tf.keras.layers.Dense(units = hp_units, activation = 'relu')

In the preceding line of code, hp_units is the number of nodes in this layer. If you wish to subject hp_units to hyperparameter search, then you simply need to define the definition for this hyperparameter's search space. Here&apos...
