Python for TensorFlow Pocket Primer

As part of the best-selling Pocket Primer series, this book is designed to prepare programmers for machine learning and deep learning/TensorFlow topics. It begins with a quick introduction to Python, followed by chapters that discuss NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and scikit-learn. The final two chapters contain an assortment of TensorFlow 1.x code samples, including detailed code samples for TensorFlow Dataset (which is used heavily in TensorFlow 2 as well). A TensorFlow Dataset refers to the classes in the tf.data.Dataset namespace that enables programmers to construct a pipeline of data by means of method chaining so-called lazy operators, e.g., map(), filter(), batch(), and so forth, based on data from one or more data sources.

Features:

- A practical introduction to Python, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and introductory aspects of TensorFlow 1.x
- Contains relevant NumPy/Pandas code samples that are typical in machine learning topics, and also useful TensorFlow 1.x code samples for deep learning/TensorFlow topics
- Includes many examples of TensorFlow Dataset APIs with lazy operators, e.g., map(), filter(), batch(), take() and also method chaining such operators
- Assumes the reader has very limited experience
- Companion files with all of the source code examples (download from the publisher)
