Mastering Predictive Analytics with scikit-learn and TensorFlow

Mastering Predictive Analytics with scikit-learn and TensorFlow

By: Alvaro Fuentes

Overview of this book

Python is a programming language that provides a wide range of features that can be used in the field of data science. Mastering Predictive Analytics with scikit-learn and TensorFlow covers various implementations of ensemble methods, how they are used with real-world datasets, and how they improve prediction accuracy in classification and regression problems. This book starts with ensemble methods and their features. You will see that scikit-learn provides tools for choosing hyperparameters for models. As you make your way through the book, you will cover the nitty-gritty of predictive analytics and explore its features and characteristics. You will also be introduced to artificial neural networks and TensorFlow, and how it is used to create neural networks. In the final chapter, you will explore factors such as computational power, along with improvement methods and software enhancements for efficient predictive analytics. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed in using deep neural networks to solve common problems in big data analysis.

Predictions with TensorFlow

We will perform the hello world example of deep learning. This example is used to check and ensure that a model is working as intended. For this, we will use the MNIST dataset.

Introduction to the MNIST dataset

MNIST stands for Mixed National Institute of Standards and Technology, which has produced a handwritten digits dataset. This is one of the most researched datasets in machine learning, and is used to classify handwritten digits. This dataset is helpful for predictive analytics because of its sheer size, allowing deep learning to work its magic efficiently. This dataset contains 60,000 training images and 10,000 testing images, formatted as 28 x 28 pixel monochrome images. The following screenshot...
