TensorFlow Basics: Classifying Images of Clothing

March 25, 2020

1 Introduction
We are to train a neural network model to classify images of clothing, like sneakers and shirts.
tf.keras, high-level API to build and train models in Tensorflow

In [1]: from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function,unicode_literals

In [2]: # import tensorflow and keras

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras

In [3]: #helpter libraries

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

In [4]: print(tf.__version__)

2 Import the Fashion MNIST Dataset

It contains 70,000 grayscale images in 10 categories„,

In [5]: fashion_mnist=keras.datasets.fashion_mnist
(train_images, train_labels),(test_images,test_labels)=fashion_mnist.load_data()

In [15]: plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
for i in range(25):
plt.subplot(5,5,i+1)
plt.xticks([])
plt.yticks([])
plt.grid(False)
plt.imshow(train_images[i],cmap=plt.cm.binary)
plt.xlabel(train_labels[i])
plt.show()

 The images are 28x28 Numpy arrays, with pixel values rangng from 0 to 255. The labels are an
array of integers, ranging form 0 to 9.
labels class 0 T-shirt/top 1 trouser 2 pullover . . . 8 Bag 9 Ankle boot

In [17]: class_names=['T-shirt/top','Trouser','Pullover','Dress','Coat','Sandal','Shirt','Sneak

In [18]: class_names

Out[18]: ['T-shirt/top',
'Trouser',
'Pullover',
'Dress',
'Coat',
'Sandal',

 'Shirt',
'Sneaker',
'Bag',
'Ankle boot']
In [19]: plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
for i in range(25):
plt.subplot(5,5,i+1)
plt.xticks([])
plt.yticks([])
plt.grid(False)
plt.imshow(train_images[i],cmap=plt.cm.binary)
plt.xlabel(class_names[train_labels[i]])
plt.show()

3 Build the model
Building the neural network requires configuring the layers of the model,then compiling the
model
