Overview of this book

Deep Learning with TensorFlow and Keras teaches you neural networks and deep learning techniques using TensorFlow (TF) and Keras. You'll learn how to write deep learning applications in the most powerful, popular, and scalable machine learning stack available. TensorFlow 2.x focuses on simplicity and ease of use, with updates like eager execution, intuitive higher-level APIs based on Keras, and flexible model building on any platform. This book uses the latest TF 2.0 features and libraries to present an overview of supervised and unsupervised machine learning models and provides a comprehensive analysis of deep learning and reinforcement learning models using practical examples for the cloud, mobile, and large production environments. This book also shows you how to create neural networks with TensorFlow, runs through popular algorithms (regression, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformers, generative adversarial networks (GANs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), natural language processing (NLP), and graph neural networks (GNNs)), covers working example apps, and then dives into TF in production, TF mobile, and TensorFlow with AutoML.

What is TensorFlow (TF)?

TensorFlow is a powerful open-source software library developed by the Google Brain Team for deep neural networks, the topic covered in this book. It was first made available under the Apache 2.0 License in November 2015 and has since grown rapidly; as of May 2022, its GitHub repository (https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow) has more than 129,000 commits, with roughly 3,100 contributors. This in itself provides a measure of the popularity of TensorFlow.

Let us first learn what exactly TensorFlow is and why it is so popular among deep neural network researchers and engineers. Google calls it “an open-source software library for machine intelligence,” but since there are so many other deep learning libraries like PyTorch (https://pytorch.org/), Caffe (https://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/), and MXNet (https://mxnet.apache.org/), what makes TensorFlow special? Most other deep learning libraries, like TensorFlow, have auto-differentiation (a...
