Welcome to this tutorial on building a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using TensorFlow! 🚀
CNNs are powerful tools for image recognition and processing. Let's dive into the essentials.

What You'll Learn

  • Setting up TensorFlow environment
  • Building a CNN architecture
  • Training and evaluating a model
  • Deploying your CNN for predictions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Install TensorFlow
    Use pip to install the latest version: 

    pip install tensorflow

    TensorFlow_Logo

  2. Import Libraries
    Start by importing TensorFlow and other necessary modules: 

    import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras import layers, models

    Python_Code

  3. Load and Preprocess Data
    Use the CIFAR-10 dataset as an example: 

    (x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = tf.keras.datasets.cifar10.load_data()
x_train = x_train.astype('float32') / 255
x_test = x_test.astype('float32') / 255

    CIFAR_10

  4. Build the CNN Model
    Define layers for convolution, pooling, and classification: 

    model = models.Sequential([
    layers.Conv2D(32, (3,3), activation='relu', input_shape=(32, 32, 3)),
    layers.MaxPooling2D((2,2)),
    layers.Flatten(),
    layers.Dense(64, activation='relu'),
    layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax')
])

  5. Compile and Train the Model
    Configure the model and start training: 

    model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit(x_train, y_train, epochs=10)

    Training_Graph

  6. Evaluate and Deploy
    Test the model on new data and deploy it for predictions: 

    model.evaluate(x_test, y_test)
predictions = model.predict(x_test)
