Hands-On Neural Networks with TensorFlow 2.0

Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to developing neural network-based solutions using TensorFlow 2.0 Key FeaturesUnderstand the basics of machine learning and discover the power of neural networks and deep learningExplore the structure of the TensorFlow framework and understand how to transition to TF 2.0Solve any deep learning problem by developing neural network-based solutions using TF 2.0Book Description TensorFlow, the most popular and widely used machine learning framework, has made it possible for almost anyone to develop machine learning solutions with ease. With TensorFlow (TF) 2.0, you'll explore a revamped framework structure, offering a wide variety of new features aimed at improving productivity and ease of use for developers. This book covers machine learning with a focus on developing neural network-based solutions. You'll start by getting familiar with the concepts and techniques required to build solutions to deep learning problems. As you advance, you’ll learn how to create classifiers, build object detection and semantic segmentation networks, train generative models, and speed up the development process using TF 2.0 tools such as TensorFlow Datasets and TensorFlow Hub. By the end of this TensorFlow book, you'll be ready to solve any machine learning problem by developing solutions using TF 2.0 and putting them into production.
