Book Description

Google's TensorFlow engine, after much fanfare, has evolved in to a robust, user-friendly, and customizable, application-grade software library of machine learning (ML) code for numerical computation and neural networks.

This book takes you through the practical software implementation of various machine learning techniques with TensorFlow. In the first few chapters, you'll gain familiarity with the framework and perform the mathematical operations required for data analysis. As you progress further, you'll learn to implement various machine learning techniques such as classification, clustering, neural networks, and deep learning through practical examples.

By the end of this book, you’ll have gained hands-on experience of using TensorFlow and building classification, image recognition systems, language processing, and information retrieving systems for your application.

What you will learn

• Install and adopt TensorFlow in your Python environment to solve mathematical problems
• Get to know the basic machine and deep learning concepts
• Train and test neural networks to fit your data model
• Make predictions using regression algorithms
• Analyze your data with a clustering procedure
• Develop algorithms for clustering and data classification
• Use GPU computing to analyze big data
