About the technology
Google’s TensorFlow framework sits at the heart of modern deep learning. Boasting practical features like multi-GPU support, network data visualization, and easy production pipelines using TensorFlow Extended (TFX), TensorFlow provides the most efficient path to professional AI applications. And the Keras library, fully integrated into TensorFlow 2, makes it a snap to build and train even complex models for vision, language, and more.
About the book
TensorFlow in Action teaches you to construct, train, and deploy deep learning models using TensorFlow 2. In this practical tutorial, you’ll build reusable skill hands-on as you create production-ready applications such as a French-to-English translator and a neural network that can write fiction. You’ll appreciate the in-depth explanations that go from DL basics to advanced applications in NLP, image processing, and MLOps, complete with important details that you’ll return to reference over and over.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2022Format: PaperbackGood balance of theory and pragmatism.
The author follows a structure I have seen in other books, introducing ML topics and TensorFlow syntax with simpler examples and Keras datasets, and going on to cover image classification with CNNs, NLP, and covering RNNs and other advanced topics.
The examples have documentation mixed in with the code. Each section is broken down and explained in detail, going over code and theory, and everything is put together in the end.
The examples in the book are great, and the author tries to prepare for examples beyond Keras datasets by synthetically corrupting some of the data or learning how to find the optimal attributes for a network.
There's a lot of content and I'm still digesting the part on sequence-to-sequence learning. The book offers a wealth of knowledge on TensorFlow and the punctilious attention to the underlying principles carries the knowledge beyond the examples (it was easy for example to try out some of the concepts illustrated here in Tensorflow.js with different data).
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022Format: PaperbackIn summary, this book is a comprehensive guide to TensorFlow 2, covering a wide range of topics from image processing to natural language processing. It is written in a way that is accessible to a variety of audiences, from graduate students to professional data scientists, and includes a series of exercises and answers to help readers solidify their understanding. The book compares and contrasts the different Keras APIs and focuses on sub-classing layers to improve model performance. It also provides useful tips for choosing CNN model parameters and explains how NLP models based on Transformers work. The book is well-illustrated and includes high-quality example code. It also covers advanced topics such as custom loss functions, model optimization, and MLOps using TensorFlow's TFX library. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about TensorFlow 2 and its applications.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2022Format: PaperbackThis is a very thoughtful, well-researched and well-written book. If you are in the market for an excellent tutorial reference to TensorFlow2 this book should be high on your list. The inclusion of TensorBoard, a crucial resource that every TensorFlow practitioner, at whatever level, needs to be fluent with the use of, is an excellent feature. . Deployment, treated skillfully here, is a topic often neglected in similar tomes.
Just be aware that any book is going to be superceded by newer versions of TensorFlow by the time it is published although all the code here should run correctly on newer versions of TensorFlow than the version used in this book. TensorFlow isn't easy but the careful explanations and examples in this fine book should go a long way to making it as easy as possible (but no easier) for readers.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2022Format: PaperbackThis is a fantastic and detailed introduction to Tensorflow.
Part 1 covers foundations of TensorFlow and Keras.
Part 2 covers the usual Image classifications, NL with Tensorflow, sentiment analysis, language modelling etc.
Part 3 covers more advanced deep networks for complex problems including sequence to sequence learning, Transforms and TFX.
The publisher for this book runs an "MEAP" early access program and I was fortunate to review the book in early form and I paid for this book myself. This is not a small book and there are over 600 pages of goodness to dive into.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2022Format: PaperbackAn exceptional and comprehensive book on TensorFlow 2.0 - with a deep coverage and many practical hands-on exercises. A great balancing act between the practical vs. theoretical knowledge. An express route to developing foundational skills with TensorFlow 2.0
