The deep learning models in this chapter are built using TensorFlow, based on the original script written by Abhishek Thakur using Keras (you can read the original code at https://github.com/abhishekkrthakur/is_that_a_duplicate_quora_question). Keras is a Python library that provides an easy interface to TensorFlow. Tensorflow has official support for Keras, and the models trained using Keras can easily be converted to TensorFlow models. Keras enables the very fast prototyping and testing of deep learning models. In our project, we rewrote the solution entirely in TensorFlow from scratch anyway.
To start, let's import the necessary libraries, in particular TensorFlow, and let's check its version by printing it:
import zipfile
from tqdm import tqdm_notebook as tqdm
import tensorflow as tf
print("TensorFlow version %s" % tf.__version__...
