TensorFlow: Powerful Predictive Analytics with TensorFlow

Overview of this book

Predictive analytics discovers hidden patterns from structured and unstructured data for automated decision making in business intelligence. Predictive decisions are becoming a huge trend worldwide, catering to wide industry sectors by predicting which decisions are more likely to give maximum results. TensorFlow, Google’s brainchild, is immensely popular and extensively used for predictive analysis. This book is a quick learning guide on all the three types of machine learning, that is, supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning with TensorFlow. This book will teach you predictive analytics for high-dimensional and sequence data. In particular, you will learn the linear regression model for regression analysis. You will also learn how to use regression for predicting continuous values. You will learn supervised learning algorithms for predictive analytics. You will explore unsupervised learning and clustering using K-meansYou will then learn how to predict neighborhoods using K-means, and then, see another example of clustering audio clips based on their audio features. This book is ideal 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. This book is embedded with useful assessments that will help you revise the concepts you have learned in this book. This book is repurposed for this specific learning experience from material from Packt's Predictive Analytics with TensorFlow by Md. Rezaul Karim.

Supervised Learning for Predictive Analytics

Depending on the nature of the learning feedback available, the machine learning process is typically classified into three broad categories: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning—see figure 1. A predictive model based on supervised learning algorithms can make predictions based on a labelled dataset that map inputs to outputs aligning with the real world.

For example, a dataset for spam filtering usually contains spam messages as well as not-spam messages. Therefore, we could know which messages in the training set are spam and which are ham. Nevertheless, we might have the opportunity to use this information to train our model in order to classify new unseen messages:
