This course is focused on using the flexibility and “ease of use” of TensorFlow 2.x and Keras to build, train, and deploy machine learning models. You will learn about the TensorFlow 2.x API hierarchy and will get to know the main components of TensorFlow through hands-on exercises. We will introduce you to working with datasets and feature columns. You will learn how to design and build a TensorFlow 2.x input data pipeline. You will get hands-on practice loading csv data, numPy arrays, text data, and images using tf.Data.Dataset. You will also get hands-on practice creating numeric, categorical, bucketized, and hashed feature columns.

Training neural networks with Tensorflow 2 and the Keras Sequential API
In this module you will get introduced to writing TensorFlow models using the Keras Sequential API. But, before you jump right into writing the model, we will talk about activation functions, loss and optimization. You will then be introduced to the Keras Sequential API to learn how you can create deep learning models with it. You will also learn how to deploy the model for prediction in the cloud.

Training neural networks with Tensorflow 2 and the Keras Functional API
The Sequential model API is great for developing deep learning models in most situations, but it also has some limitations. One example is that it is not straightforward to define models that may have multiple different input sources, produce multiple output destinations or models that re-use layers. The Keras Functional API is a way to create models that are more flexible than the tf.keras.Sequential API. The functional API can handle models with non-linear topology, models with shared layers, and models with multiple inputs or outputs. The Keras Functional API provides a more flexible way for defining models. It specifically allows you to define multiple input or output models as well as models that share layers. More than that, it allows you to define ad hoc acyclic network graphs. The main idea that a deep learning model is usually a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of layers. So the Functional API is a way to build graphs of layers. Additionally, we will also talk about how regularization can help with model performance.

TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO TENSORFLOW
by AJNov 14, 2020
Excellent 'Introduction' to TensorFlow 2.0 (HINT: 'Introduction' does not mean 'Easy'). Evan Jones is at his best giving rapid intuitive explanations of advanced topics in deep neural networks.

I feel this course very valuable because it taught how to create an automated service in cloud with very huge data and working with distributed systems in production environment with minimal time.

The tools and methods presented were great. The instructors were also fantastic. However the coding exercises were lacking in guidance even though the complete solution is given in the video.

pretty good. some of the code in the last lab could be better explained. also please debug the cloud shell, as it does not always show the "web preview" button ;) otherwise, good job!
