Defining data as constants

Throughout this course, we will use tensorflow version 2.6.0 and will exclusively import the submodules needed to complete each exercise. This will usually be done for you, but you will do it in this exercise by importing constant from tensorflow.

After you have imported constant, you will use it to transform a numpy array, credit_numpy, into a tensorflow constant, credit_constant. This array contains feature columns from a dataset on credit card holders and is previewed in the image below. We will return to this dataset in later chapters.

Note that tensorflow 2 allows you to use data as either a numpy array or a tensorflow constant object. Using a constant will ensure that any operations performed with that object are done in tensorflow.

This image shows four feature columns from a dataset on credit card default: education, marriage, age, and bill amount.

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.

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.

Exercise 1: Dense layers Exercise 2: The linear algebra of dense layers Exercise 3: The low-level approach with multiple examples Exercise 4: Using the dense layer operation Exercise 5: Activation functions Exercise 6: Binary classification problems Exercise 7: Multiclass classification problems Exercise 8: Optimizers Exercise 9: The dangers of local minima Exercise 10: Avoiding local minima Exercise 11: Training a network in TensorFlow Exercise 12: Initialization in TensorFlow Exercise 13: Defining the model and loss function Exercise 14: Training neural networks with TensorFlow

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.
