Chapter 8. TensorFrames

This chapter will provide a high-level primer on the burgeoning field of Deep Learning and the reasons why it is important. It will provide the fundamentals surrounding feature learning and neural networks required for deep learning. As well, this chapter will provide a quick start for TensorFrames for Apache Spark.

In this chapter, you will learn about:

  • What is Deep Learning?
  • A primer on feature learning
  • What is feature engineering?
  • What is TensorFlow?
  • Introducing TensorFrames
  • TensorFrames – quick start

As you can see in the preceding breakdown, we will be initially discussing deep learning – more specifically we will start with neural networks.

What is Deep Learning?

Deep Learning is part of a family of machine learning techniques ...
