Custom Models and Training with TensorFlow

Custom Models and Training with TensorFlow Discussion leader: George Zoto This session will provide an overview of TensorFlow and look into how you can do customizations when Keras doesn't have exactly what you need predefined for you. This material is in chapter 12 of the book Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow (2nd Edition) by Aurélien Géron. The SDML book club will be meeting Saturdays to discuss one chapter each week. The HOML book (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/hands-on-machine-learning/9781492032632/ ) is available from different booksellers. Make sure to get the second edition with the color cover, not the first edition with the red cover. This is simply one of the best data science books out there. The book covers all of the core concepts from basics like what is machine learning and linear regression to advanced models like reinforcement learning and GANs. This material will provide a solid foundation for beginners, and further the understanding for more experienced data scientists. ================= Agenda ================= - 12:00 - 12:15 pm -- Arrival and socializing/breakouts - 12:15 - 1:30 pm -- Custom models and training with TensorFlow - Time permitting -- Additional breakouts Links to chapter notes and videos of prior meetups are available on the SDML GitHub repo https://github.com/SanDiegoMachineLearning/bookclub ================= Location ================= This will be an online meetup until further notice. ================= Questions? ================= Join our slack channel or leave a comment below if you have any questions about the group or need clarification on anything. https://join.slack.com/t/sdmachinelearning/shared_invite/zt-6b0ojqdz-9bG7tyJMddVHZ3Zm9IajJA
