Binary classification problems

In this exercise, you will again make use of credit card data. The target variable, default, indicates whether a credit card holder defaults on his or her payment in the following period. Since there are only two options--default or not--this is a binary classification problem. While the dataset has many features, you will focus on just three: the size of the three latest credit card bills. Finally, you will compute predictions from your untrained network, outputs, and compare those the target variable, default.

The tensor of features has been loaded and is available as bill_amounts. Additionally, the constant(), float32, and keras.layers.Dense() operations are available.

Before you can build advanced models in TensorFlow 2, you will first need to understand the basics. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to define constants and variables, perform tensor addition and multiplication, and compute derivatives. Knowledge of linear algebra will be helpful, but not necessary.

Exercise 1: Constants and variables Exercise 2: Defining data as constants Exercise 3: Defining variables Exercise 4: Basic operations Exercise 5: Performing element-wise multiplication Exercise 6: Making predictions with matrix multiplication Exercise 7: Summing over tensor dimensions Exercise 8: Advanced operations Exercise 9: Reshaping tensors Exercise 10: Optimizing with gradients Exercise 11: Working with image data

In this chapter, you will learn how to build, solve, and make predictions with models in TensorFlow 2. You will focus on a simple class of models – the linear regression model – and will try to predict housing prices. By the end of the chapter, you will know how to load and manipulate data, construct loss functions, perform minimization, make predictions, and reduce resource use with batch training.

The previous chapters taught you how to build models in TensorFlow 2. In this chapter, you will apply those same tools to build, train, and make predictions with neural networks. You will learn how to define dense layers, apply activation functions, select an optimizer, and apply regularization to reduce overfitting. You will take advantage of TensorFlow's flexibility by using both low-level linear algebra and high-level Keras API operations to define and train models.

In the final chapter, you'll use high-level APIs in TensorFlow 2 to train a sign language letter classifier. You will use both the sequential and functional Keras APIs to train, validate, make predictions with, and evaluate models. You will also learn how to use the Estimators API to streamline the model definition and training process, and to avoid errors.
