TensorFlow is one of the most popular libraries for deep learning, and it’s widely used today amongst researchers and professionals at all levels. In this week, you will get started with using TensorFlow on the Coursera platform and familiarise yourself with the course structure. You will also learn about some helpful resources when developing deep learning models in TensorFlow, including Google Colab. This week is really about getting everything set up, ready for diving into TensorFlow in the following week of the course.

There are multiple ways to build and apply deep learning models in TensorFlow, from high-level, quick and easy-to-use APIs, to low-level operations. In this week you will learn to use the high-level Keras API for quickly building, training, evaluating and predicting from deep learning models. The programming assignment for this week will give you the opportunity to put all this into practice and develop an image classification model from scratch on the MNIST dataset of handwritten images.

Model validation and selection is an essential part of developing any machine learning model development to help prevent overfitting and improve generalisation. In this week you will learn how to use a validation dataset in a training run and apply regularisation techniques to your model. You will also learn how to use callbacks to monitor performance and perform actions according to specified criteria. In the programming assignment for this week you will put model validation and regularisation into practice on the well-known Iris dataset.

As part of your deep learning model development, you will need to be able to save and load TensorFlow models, possibly according to certain criteria you want to specify. In this week you will learn how to use callbacks to save models, manual saving and loading, and options that are available when saving models, including saving weights only. In addition, you will practice loading and using pre-trained deep learning models. In the programming assignment for this week you will write flexible model saving and loading implementations for a model trained on satellite images.

In this course you have learned an end-to-end workflow for developing deep learning models in Tensorflow. The Capstone Project gives you the opportunity to bring all of your knowledge together to develop a deep learning classifier on a labelled image dataset of street view house numbers.
