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.

TensorFlow Probability

TensorFlow Probability (TFP), a part of the TensorFlow ecosystem, is a library that provides tools for developing probabilistic models. It can be used to perform probabilistic reasoning and statistical analysis. It is built over TensorFlow and provides the same computational advantage.

Figure 12.1 shows the major components constituting TensorFlow Probability:

At the root, we have all numerical operations supported by TensorFlow, specifically the LinearOperator class (part of tf.linalg) – it contains all the methods that can be performed on a matrix, without the need to actually materialize the matrix. This provides computationally efficient matrix-free computations. TFP includes a large collection of probability distributions and their related statistical computations. It also has tfp.bijectors, which offers a wide range of transformed distributions.

Bijectors encapsulate...
