1. Introduction to TensorFlow
TensorFlow is an open-source machine learning library developed by Google.
It supports:
• Deep learning
• Numerical computing
• Distributed training
• Production deployment
Key ecosystems:
• TensorFlow Core
• Keras high-level API
• TensorFlow Lite (mobile/edge)
• [Link] (browser)
• TFX (production pipelines)
2. Installing TensorFlow
CPU version
pip install tensorflow
GPU version
pip install tensorflow[and-cuda]
Verify installation:
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)
3. TensorFlow Architecture
TensorFlow consists of:
1. Tensors
Multidimensional arrays.
2. Operations
Math functions that act on tensors.
3. Graphs
Computations compiled before execution.
4. Runtime
Executes parts of the computational graph.
5. Keras API
Used to build and train models easily.
4. Tensors
Create tensors:
[Link]([1, 2, 3])
[Link]([3, 3])
[Link]([2, 2])
Check attributes:
[Link]
[Link]
5. Graphs & Eager Execution
TensorFlow defaults to eager execution, meaning operations run immediately.
To build graph functions:
@[Link]
def add(a, b):
return a + b
This speeds up execution by compiling the graph.
6. Variables & TensorFlow Functions
Variables store trainable parameters.
w = [Link](1.0)
[Link](2.0)
Use inside functions:
@[Link]
def update(x):
return w * x
7. Data Pipelines with [Link]
Efficient input pipelines:
From NumPy:
dataset = [Link].from_tensor_slices((X, y))
dataset = [Link](1000).batch(32)
From TFRecord:
raw_dataset = [Link](filenames)
8. Building Models With Keras
Sequential model:
model = [Link]([
[Link](32, activation='relu'),
[Link](10)
])
Functional API:
inputs = [Link](shape=(784,))
x = [Link](64, activation='relu')(inputs)
outputs = [Link](10)(x)
model = [Link](inputs, outputs)
Compile:
[Link](
loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
optimizer='adam',
metrics=['accuracy']
9. Training, Evaluation, Prediction
Train:
[Link](dataset, epochs=10)
Evaluate:
[Link](test_dataset)
Predict:
[Link](sample)
10. Custom Training Loops
loss_fn = [Link]()
optimizer = [Link]()
for step, (x_batch, y_batch) in enumerate(dataset):
with [Link]() as tape:
predictions = model(x_batch)
loss = loss_fn(y_batch, predictions)
grads = [Link](loss, model.trainable_variables)
optimizer.apply_gradients(zip(grads, model.trainable_variables))
11. Saving & Loading Models
SavedModel format:
[Link]("my_model")
model = [Link].load_model("my_model")
Save weights:
model.save_weights("weights.h5")
model.load_weights("weights.h5")
12. Transfer Learning
Example with MobileNetV2:
base = [Link].MobileNetV2(
input_shape=(224,224,3),
include_top=False,
weights='imagenet'
[Link] = False
13. Using GPUs & TPUs
List devices:
[Link].list_physical_devices()
Use strategy for distributed training:
strategy = [Link]()
14. TensorFlow Lite
Convert model:
converter = [Link].from_keras_model(model)
tflite_model = [Link]()
15. TensorFlow Serving
Export model:
saved_model_cli show --dir my_model --all
Serve:
tensorflow_model_server --model_base_path=my_model
16. TensorFlow Extended (TFX)
Pipeline components:
1. ExampleGen
2. StatisticsGen
3. SchemaGen
4. Trainer
5. Evaluator
6. Pusher
TFX enables full ML pipelines in production.
17. Debugging & Optimization
• [Link] module
• Mixed precision:
• from [Link].mixed_precision import set_global_policy
• set_global_policy('mixed_float16')
• Profiling: TensorBoard performance dashboard
18. Complete Example Projects
1. Image Classification (CNN)
2. Text Classification (LSTM/Transformers)
3. Regression (Feed-forward network)
4. Object Detection (TensorFlow Object Detection API)
5. Reinforcement Learning with TF-Agents
I can expand any of these into full code examples.
