TensorFlow Machine Learning Projects: Build 13 real-world projects with advanced numerical computations using the Python ecosystem Kindle Edition

3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars 23 ratings

Implement TensorFlow's offerings such as TensorBoard, TensorFlow.js, TensorFlow Probability, and TensorFlow Lite to build smart automation projects

Key Features

  • Use machine learning and deep learning principles to build real-world projects
  • Get to grips with TensorFlow's impressive range of module offerings
  • Implement projects on GANs, reinforcement learning, and capsule network

Book Description

TensorFlow has transformed the way machine learning is perceived. TensorFlow Machine Learning Projects teaches you how to exploit the benefits—simplicity, efficiency, and flexibility—of using TensorFlow in various real-world projects. With the help of this book, you’ll not only learn how to build advanced projects using different datasets but also be able to tackle common challenges using a range of libraries from the TensorFlow ecosystem.

To start with, you’ll get to grips with using TensorFlow for machine learning projects; you’ll explore a wide range of projects using TensorForest and TensorBoard for detecting exoplanets, TensorFlow.js for sentiment analysis, and TensorFlow Lite for digit classification.

As you make your way through the book, you’ll build projects in various real-world domains, incorporating natural language processing (NLP), the Gaussian process, autoencoders, recommender systems, and Bayesian neural networks, along with trending areas such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), capsule networks, and reinforcement learning. You’ll learn how to use the TensorFlow on Spark API and GPU-accelerated computing with TensorFlow to detect objects, followed by how to train and develop a recurrent neural network (RNN) model to generate book scripts.

By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the required expertise to build full-fledged machine learning projects at work.

What you will learn

  • Understand the TensorFlow ecosystem using various datasets and techniques
  • Create recommendation systems for quality product recommendations
  • Build projects using CNNs, NLP, and Bayesian neural networks
  • Play Pac-Man using deep reinforcement learning
  • Deploy scalable TensorFlow-based machine learning systems
  • Generate your own book script using RNNs

I purchased this book for some example of ML projects. I know tensorflow already. I expected to see at least decent solutions. Unfortunately I stopped reading after seeing second chapter where the authors created model that always predicts 0 and has precision recall 0. They are satisfied because that reached >99% of accuracy but they forget that the given dataset has huge class imbalance!

There are lots of talk about Tensorflow and I was looking for a book which can explain the concepts and framework in a simplified way. As an AI/ML learner, I found this book is very helpful and able to adapt the Tensorflow for my current project in a faster way. This is an excellent book for the one who wants to learn Tensorflow even without any background.

I like the book’s approach of “learning by coding”. I understand concepts better, when I implement them in code. This book is perfect for me, as It allows me to implement the logic in code based off of the github repository, while reading the book.

Another thing that stood out to me was that this book discusses Industry relevant problems such as recommender systems, traffic sign classifier which is actively being researched in many companies. So, I can easily take these learnings and use them on my job. Through these examples, introduces tools that will help deploy these model in production.

The source code is available on github and on the Packt website but both only have the directory for the datasets and not the actual data which means none of the examples run. I contacted the publisher but they just send links to the zip file that I already have.

Loved the projects oriented approach of this book. Google tutorials only teach about Tensorflow functions but this book really helped me to build practical projects using Tensorflow without steep learning curve. Most of the chapters follow step by step approach on building the project.
Another thing I liked is that this book doesn't get into all the mathematical details which is great if your motive is to quickly get going with using Tensorflow in applied settings.

The book is true to its title and has a strong hands-on approach to deep learning with Tensorflow.

It seems like a great starting point for someone who has heard of Deep Learning or taken a few online courses and would like to get into solving a variety of real-world problems. The book walks through actual code examples and explains many practical aspects of programming.
