TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook

Getting Started with TensorFlow

In this chapter, we will cover some basic recipes in order to understand how TensorFlow works and how to access data for this book and additional resources.

By the end of this chapter, you should have knowledge of the following:

  • How TensorFlow works
  • Declaring variables and tensors
  • Using placeholders and variables
  • Working with matrices
  • Declaring operations
  • Implementing activation functions
  • Working with data sources
  • Additional resources

Introduction

Google's TensorFlow engine has a unique way of solving problems. This unique way allows us to solve machine learning problems very efficiently. Machine learning is used in almost all areas of life and work, but some of the more famous areas are computer vision, speech recognition, language translations, healthcare, and many more. We will cover the basic steps to understand how TensorFlow operates and eventually build up to production code techniques later in this book. These fundamentals are important to understanding recipes for the rest of this book.

Key benefits

  • Exploit the features of Tensorflow to build and deploy machine learning models
  • Train neural networks to tackle real-world problems in Computer Vision and NLP
  • Handy techniques to write production-ready code for your Tensorflow models

Description

TensorFlow is an open source software library for Machine Intelligence. The independent recipes in this book will teach you how to use TensorFlow for complex data computations and allow you to dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. With the help of this book, you will work with recipes for training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and more. You will explore RNNs, CNNs, GANs, reinforcement learning, and capsule networks, each using Google's machine learning library, TensorFlow. Through real-world examples, you will get hands-on experience with linear regression techniques with TensorFlow. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, you will be shown how to take it to production. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in the field of machine intelligence using TensorFlow. You will also have good insight into deep learning and be capable of implementing machine learning algorithms in real-world scenarios.

Who is this book for?

If you are a data scientist or a machine learning engineer with some knowledge of linear algebra, statistics, and machine learning, this book is for you. If you want to skip the theory and build production-ready machine learning models using Tensorflow without reading pages and pages of material, this book is for you. Some background in Python programming is assumed.

What you will learn

  • Become familiar with the basic features of the TensorFlow library
  • Get to know Linear Regression techniques with TensorFlow
  • Learn SVMs with hands-on recipes
  • Implement neural networks to improve predictive modeling
  • Apply NLP and sentiment analysis to your data
  • Master CNN and RNN through practical recipes
  • Implement the gradient boosted random forest to predict housing prices
  • Take TensorFlow into production

Sadly this book is a bit out of date when Tensorflow 2 was released and Tensorflow 1 made obsolete.

For starters the book is dated, and the code examples are no longer functional so the first thing I had to do was go in and fix all the code before I could run the examples. The second thing is that this book really doesn't explain or teach anything, you could save the money on the book and go to their Github website download all the example code, fix it till it works and then read the code, you will get just as much out of that as you will by the useless info they add to the code base within the book.

Purchased the latest Edition as I read the first one had lot of errors and typos.When I read around first 50 pages of the book, there were around many typos and more than 8 syntactical errors.Right now I have even stopped counting. The language is very poor. Very poorly written. It miserably fails to explain the concepts. I have read lots of other books on DL but honestly this is the worst book ever. Even if you go to the github repository of this book to refer codes, you will find two versions, one is .ipynb and the other one is .py. Even those files have errors. I don't know how they published the books with out sorting out all these problems.I have finished many DL books within 2-3 weeks because they felt really interesting. Examples: Deep Learning with python, Deep Learning BookBut right now I don't even feel like reading the book because the author has has made simple things way too complicated.Example: we can split data into train n test using sklearn train_test_split. Instead the author is writing 4 lines of code to split them every time. Why man why???I would recommend to go for some other book

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
