Paolo Galeone

Paolo Galeone is a computer engineer with strong practical experience. After getting his MSc degree, he joined the Computer Vision Laboratory at the University of Bologna, Italy, as a research fellow, where he improved his computer vision and machine learning knowledge working on a broad range of research topics. Currently, he leads the Computer Vision and Machine Learning laboratory at ZURU Tech, Italy. In 2019, Google recognized his expertise by awarding him the title of Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Machine Learning. As a GDE, he shares his passion for machine learning and the TensorFlow framework by blogging, speaking at conferences, contributing to open-source projects, and answering questions on Stack Overflow.

Model definition and training

Disclaimer: the layer module has been completely removed in TensorFlow 2.0, and the layer definition using tf.keras.layers is the new standard; however, an overview of tf.layers is still worth reading because it shows how reasoning layer by layer to define deep models is the natural way to proceed and it also gives us an idea of the reasons behind the migration from tf.layers to tf.keras.layers.

Defining models with tf.layers

As shown in the previous section, TensorFlow provides all the primitive features to define a neural network layer: the user should take care when defining the variables, the operation nodes, the activation functions, and the logging, and define a proper interface to handle...
