Description

TensorFlow as a machine learning (ML) library has matured into a production-ready ecosystem. This beginner’s book uses practical examples to enable you to build and deploy TensorFlow models using optimal settings that ensure long-term support without having to worry about library deprecation or being left behind when it comes to bug fixes or workarounds. The book begins by showing you how to refine your TensorFlow project and set it up for enterprise-level deployment. You’ll then learn how to choose a future-proof version of TensorFlow. As you advance, you’ll find out how to build and deploy models in a robust and stable environment by following recommended practices made available in TensorFlow Enterprise. This book also teaches you how to manage your services better and enhance the performance and reliability of your artificial intelligence (AI) applications. You’ll discover how to use various enterprise-ready services to accelerate your ML and AI workflows on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Finally, you’ll scale your ML models and handle heavy workloads across CPUs, GPUs, and Cloud TPUs. By the end of this TensorFlow book, you’ll have learned the patterns needed for TensorFlow Enterprise model development, data pipelines, training, and deployment.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

Cloud computing is a relevant tool for companies to achieve their digital transformation, especially for those developing data-driven business models based on Deep Learning Frameworks as a core technology. Commence in cloud technologies can be overwhelming for beginners due to the tons of online tutorials, material, and documentation that are not always updated, creating frustration and delaying these technologies' adoption.The book is a useful guide and a great starting point for deploying the first AI-based applications for those who initiate Cloud Computing. Also, it is an excellent complementary material for those currently working as MLOps Engineers that want to understand advanced options in TensorFlow Enterprise and Google Cloud Computing. It includes sections with practical hands-on material easy to read and follow. Chapters handle relevant topics such as creating a data warehouse on the cloud, accessing the data efficiently using Tensorflow from different pythonic formats such as Pandas DataFrames or Numpy arrays, and small but valuable tips about using TPU instead of using a GPU. The hand-on material is available on Github, and such is a good source to start developing your ideas

This is a great book to learn how to use TF Enterprise on GCP including advancing topics such as TPUs , Hyperparameters tuning, model optimization, and integration with multiple data sources such as bigquery

Aishwary Feb 23, 2021

This book is a perfect introduction to TensorFlow, from learning basics to advanced features like model deployment in production. The best part about this book is sample code as a part of the explanation and images to illustrate the UI components on Google Cloud Platform. This book has an excellent use case to work google cloud AI notebooks while leveraging big data suite tools (tools like BigQuery). One of the other good things about this book is that it does not leave any concepts half explained. I liked the section on transfer learning and hyperparameter tuning (section 3 - chapter 4 and 6) the most. It also has details about working with TFRecords, which is an essential feature to work with data in the real world. Even if you do not work to deploy models in production, I would recommend every deep learning practitioner to read this book to get a perfect experience with all the concepts that one requires to leverage on a day-to-day basis.

Sreekanth Ramayanam Feb 21, 2021

I am impressed of how clearly the steps are laid out from laying a great data foundation all the way to serving a model for the consumption . A beginner should be able to pick this book and learn how to use tensor flow to create and consume a deep learning model. Author explained even those concepts such as model optimization concisely and with the examples for the user to understand building models for the edge devices. All in all a great read for a week to jump start your deep learning journey.

I have been doing deep learning modeling using tensorflow programming for couple of years and its hard to actually build the model picking right number of GPU machines , setting them up properly, connecting data sources, buidl train models and then take the model to production. I have used the other public clouds but its much much easier on google cloud as they created Tensorflow in the first place. I also bought some beefy gaming machines with Nvidia chipsets but always had the ceremonial steps to do before i could do anything practical at cloud scale.This books explains clearly how to set up the sources in data warehouse, how to create notebooks, build models and deploy them without breaking the bank as its all taken care by Google Cloud.I have to point out the toughest parts of Deep Learning are the scaling using TPUs and GPUs and this book covers those aspects too. Not to underestimate, serving models are tricky and there are just too many options to do it. This book walks you through a good way to serve such models.Frankly this book saves time you will spend going through the many docs online and lets you quickly start from introduction and takes you to production.
