The iris dataset is described in more detail in the Working with data sources recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started with TensorFlow. We will load this data and make a simple binary classifier to predict whether a flower is the species Iris setosa or not. To be clear, this dataset has three species, but we will only predict whether a flower is a single species, I. setosa or not, giving us a binary classifier. We will start by loading the libraries and data, then transform the target accordingly.
