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.

Introduction to TFLite

TFLite is a set of tools to help developers run TF models on devices with small binary sizes and low latency. TFLite consists of two main components: the TFLite interpreter (tf.lite.Interpreter) and the TFLite converter (tf.lite.TFLiteConverter). The TFLite interpreter is what actually runs the TFLite model on low-power devices, such as mobile phones, embedded Linux devices, and microcontrollers. The TFLite converter, on the other hand, is run on powerful devices that can be used to train the TF model, and it converts the trained TF model into an efficient form for the interpreter.

TFLite is designed to make it easy to perform machine learning on devices without sending any data over a network connection. This improves latency (since there is no data transfer over networks), more privacy (as no data will ever leave the device), and offline...
