Example 2 Model
Shuffle Data
Always shuffle data before training.
When a model is trained, the data is divided into small sets (batches).Each batch is then fed to the model.Shuffling is important to prevent the model getting the same data over again.If using the same data twice, the model will not be able to generalize the dataand give the right output. Shuffling gives a better variety of data in each batch.
Example
TensorFlow Tensors
To use TensorFlow, input data needs to be converted to tensor data:
const inputs = values.map(obj => obj.x);
// Map y values to Tensor labels
const labels = values.map(obj => obj.y);
// Convert inputs and labels to 2d tensors
const inputTensor = tf.tensor2d(inputs, [inputs.length, 1]);
const labelTensor = tf.tensor2d(labels, [labels.length, 1]);
Data Normalization
Data should be normalized before being used in a neural network.
A range of 0 - 1 using min-max are often best for numerical data:
const inputMax = inputTensor.max();
const labelMin = labelTensor.min();
const labelMax = labelTensor.max();
const nmInputs = inputTensor.sub(inputMin).div(inputMax.sub(inputMin));
const nmLabels = labelTensor.sub(labelMin).div(labelMax.sub(labelMin));
Tensorflow Model
AMachine Learning Model is an algorithm that produces output from input.
This example uses 3 lines to define aML Model:
model.add(tf.layers.dense({inputShape: [1], units: 1, useBias: true}));
model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 1, useBias: true}));
Sequential ML Model
const model = tf.sequential();creates aSequential ML Model.
In a sequential model, the input flows directly to the output. Other models can have multiple inputs and multiple outputs.Sequential is the easiest ML model.It allows you to build a model layer by layer,with weights that correspond to the next layer.
TensorFlow Layers
model.add() is used to add two layers to the model.
tf.layer.dense is a layer type that works in most cases.It multiplies its inputs by a weight-matrix and adds a number (bias) to the result.
Shapes and Units
inputShape: [1] because we have 1 input (x = rooms).
units: 1 defines the size of the weight matrix:1 weight for each input (x value).
Compiling a Model
Compile the model with a specifiedoptimizer andloss function:
The compiler is set to use thesgd optimizer.It is simple to use and quite effective.
meanSquaredErroris the function we want to use to compare model predictions and true values.
