What's New in TensorFlow 2.0

By: Ajay Baranwal, Alizishaan Khatri, Tanish Baranwal

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is an end-to-end machine learning platform for experts as well as beginners, and its new version, TensorFlow 2.0 (TF 2.0), improves its simplicity and ease of use. This book will help you understand and utilize the latest TensorFlow features. What's New in TensorFlow 2.0 starts by focusing on advanced concepts such as the new TensorFlow Keras APIs, eager execution, and efficient distribution strategies that help you to run your machine learning models on multiple GPUs and TPUs. The book then takes you through the process of building data ingestion and training pipelines, and it provides recommendations and best practices for feeding data to models created using the new tf.keras API. You'll explore the process of building an inference pipeline using TF Serving and other multi-platform deployments before moving on to explore the newly released AIY, which is essentially do-it-yourself AI. This book delves into the core APIs to help you build unified convolutional and recurrent layers and use TensorBoard to visualize deep learning models using what-if analysis. By the end of the book, you'll have learned about compatibility between TF 2.0 and TF 1.x and be able to migrate to TF 2.0 smoothly.

TensorBoard

TensorBoard is one of the most important strengths of the TensorFlow platform and with TF 2.0, TensorBoard has gone to the next level. In machine learning, to improve your model weights, you often need to be able to measure them. TensorBoard is a tool for providing the measurements and visualizations needed during the machine learning workflow. It enables tracking experiment metrics such as loss and accuracy, visualizing the model graph, projecting embeddings to a lower dimensional space, and much more. In contrast to TF 1.x, TF 2.0 provides a very simple way to integrate and invoke TensorBoard using callbacks, which were explained in The fit() API section. Also, TensorBoard provides several tricks to measure and visualize your data and model graphs, and it has a what-if and profiling tool. It also extends itself to be able to debug.
