Appendix: Getting Started with AWS

TensorFlow as a general machine learning library

In this section, we will demonstrate how to use TensorFlow to create a regression model for the house estimation problem in Chapter 3, Predicting House Value with Regression Algorithms. To get started, we will first launch a SageMaker notebook and choose the TensorFlow kernel (conda_tensorflow_p36), which has all the necessary TensorFlow dependencies that are required for this section:

Now, let's consider the estimation problem from Chapter 3, Predicting House Value with Regression Algorithms. Recall that we had a set of indicators (such as the age of the house, the distance to the nearest center, and more) to estimate the median value of the house (expressed in the medv column, which is our target feature), as shown in the following screenshot:

In Chapter 3, Predicting House Value with Regression Algorithms, we identified...
