Overview of this book

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning algorithms based on learning multiple levels of abstraction. Neural networks, which are at the core of deep learning, are being used in predictive analytics, computer vision, natural language processing, time series forecasting, and to perform a myriad of other complex tasks. This book is conceived for developers, data analysts, machine learning practitioners and deep learning enthusiasts who want to build powerful, robust, and accurate predictive models with the power of TensorFlow, combined with other open source Python libraries. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to develop deep learning applications for machine learning systems using Feedforward Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, Autoencoders, and Factorization Machines. Discover how to attain deep learning programming on GPU in a distributed way. You'll come away with an in-depth knowledge of machine learning techniques and the skills to apply them to real-world projects.

TensorFlow computational graph

When thinking of executing a TensorFlow program, we should be familiar with the concepts of graph creation and session execution. Basically, the first one is for building the model, and the second one is for feeding the data in and getting the results.

Interestingly, TensorFlow does everything on the C++ engine, which means not even a little multiplication or addition is executed in Python. Python is just a wrapper. Fundamentally, the TensorFlow C++ engine consists of the following two things:

  • Efficient implementations of operations, such as convolution, max pool, and sigmoid for a CNN for example
  • Derivatives of the forwarding mode operation

The TensorFlow lib is an extraordinary lib in terms of coding and it is not like conventional Python code (for example, you can write statements and they get executed). TensorFlow code consists of different operations. Even variable initialization is special in TensorFlow. When you are performing a complex operation with TensorFlow...
