Hi all,

It’s been some time since I’ve been flirting with the idea of joining the AI developers community. I’m a 10 year experienced .Net developer and the main thing I want to use AI for is for video detection, tracking, stats, etc..

After some digging, I’ve found TensorFlow might be exactly what I’m looking for but I wanted to take some advice regarding which training I should do first..

​

Python? TensorFlow? Maybe start with other theoretical concepts first?

Thanks!

I have a dataset of posts on a website (which I have downloaded in file format data/category1 and data/category2) all are png, or jpg format files. All with unique dimensions. Is there a way to train the neural network without resizing the images? I already know I would have to train them in separate batches, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get them all into individual batches to be trained. Thank you in advance for your help 😀

I want to create a python program for neural style transfer based on this tutorial: https://medium.com/tensorflow/neural-style-transfer-creating-art-with-deep-learning-using-tf-keras-and-eager-execution-7d541ac31398. They used tensorflow 1.* for this but I use tensorflow 2.* (gpu), so I had to change a few things. Both my version and the original version of the program raised a ValueError when I tried to return a vgg19 model. Can someone explain this error or tell me how to fix it?

“`def get_model(): vgg = tf.keras.applications.vgg19.VGG19(include_top = False, weights = ‘imagenet’) vgg.trainable = False style_outputs = [vgg.get_layer(name) for name in style_layers] content_outputs = [vgg.get_layer(name) for name in content_layers] model_outputs = style_outputs + content_outputs return tf.keras.Model(vgg.input, model_outputs)

Hello. I have a question regarding tensorflow. I was working on a Deep Q Network problem using Tensorflow. The code is as follows:

“`

g = tf.Graph() with g.as_default(): w_1 = tf.Variable(tf.truncated_normal([n_input, n_hidden_1], stddev=0.1)) w_1_p = tf.Variable(tf.truncated_normal([n_input, n_hidden_1], stddev=0.1)) ## There are other parameters too but they are excluded for simplicity

def update_target_q_network(sess): “”” Update target q network once in a while “”” sess.run(w_1_p.assign(sess.run(w_1)))

for i_episode in range(n_episode): …….. #Code removed for simplicity if i_episode%10 == 0: update_target_q_network(centralsess) ……..

“`

Basically after every specific number of n_episodes (10 in this case), the parameter w_1 is copied to w_1_p.

The issue with the code is that the time it takes to run the function update_target_q_network keeps on increasing as the n_episodes increase. So for example it takes 0-1 second for 100th episode however the time increase to 220 seconds for 7500th episode. Can anyone kindly tell how can the running time of the code can be improved? I tried reading the reason (the graph keeps on becoming larger) but I am not sure about that or how or change code to reduce time. Thank you for your help.

Check out my question on stackoverflow for specifics, but I’m wondering about general strategies for pre-processing inputs into Tensorflow.js….do I need to use a convolutional network? Can I use the model to pre-process input? There’s some commands in python that are missing in js for doing this

I am trying to print a list of objects, some of which are constants and some and some are variables. When i print the list, only the constant tensors are shown, while Variables are are represented by empty space. They are present in the calculation, and that is going through without a hitch. But somehow in this print issue, they are absent.
