TensorFlow-LiveLessons

This repository is home to the code that accompanies Jon Krohn's:

  1. Deep Learning with TensorFlow LiveLessons (summary blog post here)
  2. Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing LiveLessons (summary blog post here)
  3. Deep Reinforcement Learning and GANs LiveLessons (summary blog post here)

The above order is the recommended sequence in which to undertake these LiveLessons. That said, Deep Learning with TensorFlow provides a sufficient theoretical and practical background for the other LiveLessons.

Prerequisites

Command Line

Working through these LiveLessons will be easiest if you are familiar with the Unix command line basics. A tutorial of these fundamentals can be found here.

Python for Data Analysis

In addition, if you're unfamiliar with using Python for data analysis (e.g., the pandas, scikit-learn, matplotlib packages), the data analyst path of DataQuest will quickly get you up to speed -- steps one (Introduction to Python) and two (Intermediate Python and Pandas) provide the bulk of the essentials.

Installation

Step-by-step guides for running the code in this repository can be found in the installation directory.

Notebooks

All of the code that I cover in the LiveLessons can be found in this directory as Jupyter notebooks.

Below is the lesson-by-lesson sequence in which I covered them:
