Overview of this book

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 will let you dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. You’ll work through recipes on training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and deep learning – each using Google’s machine learning library TensorFlow. This guide starts with the fundamentals of the TensorFlow library which includes variables, matrices, and various data sources. Moving ahead, you will get hands-on experience with Linear Regression techniques with TensorFlow. The next chapters cover important high-level concepts such as neural networks, CNN, RNN, and NLP. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, the last chapter will show you how to take it to production.

Working with Text-Based Distances

Nearest neighbors is more versatile than just dealing with numbers. As long as we have a way to measure distances between features, we can apply the nearest neighbors algorithm. In this recipe, we will introduce how to measure text distances with TensorFlow.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will illustrate how to use TensorFlow's text distance metric, the Levenshtein distance (the edit distance), between strings. This will be important later in this chapter as we expand the nearest neighbor methods to include features with text.

The Levenshtein distance is the minimal number of edits to get from one string to another string. The allowed edits are inserting a character, deleting a character, or substituting a character with a different one. For this recipe, we will use TensorFlow's Levenshtein distance function, edit_distance(). It is worthwhile to illustrate the use of this function because the usage of this function will be applicable to later chapters.
