About this course: We introduce low-level TensorFlow and work our way through the necessary concepts and APIs so as to be able to write distributed machine learning models. Given a TensorFlow model, we explain how to scale out the training of that model and offer high-performance predictions using Cloud Machine Learning Engine. Course Objectives: Create machine learning models in TensorFlow Use the TensorFlow libraries to solve numerical problems Troubleshoot and debug common TensorFlow code pitfalls Use tf.estimator to create, train, and evaluate an ML model Train, deploy, and productionalize ML models at scale with Cloud ML Engine
Who is this class for: This course is aimed at data scientists, data engineers and programmers interested in learning how to apply machine learning in practice.

Syllabus
WEEK 1
Introduction
The tool we will use to write machine learning programs is TensorFlow and so in this course, we will introduce you to TensorFlow. In the first course, you learned how to formulate business problems as machine learning problems and in the second course, you learned how machine works in practice and how to create datasets that you can use for machine learning. Now that you have the data in place, you are ready to get started writing machine learning programs.
