Quick Start
The workshop code is available as Jupyter notebooks. You can run the notebooks in the cloud (no installation required) by clicking the "launch binder" button:
Why
For people who struggle to start in deep learning with TensorFlow
Description
This hands-on in-person workshop is based on Deep Learning with TensorFlow Course by IBM Cognitive Class
Learn how to get started with TensorFlow to capture relevant structure in images, sound, and textual data from unlabeled and unstructured data.

Pre-workshop
You will need a laptop that can access the internet
1: Installation
Install miniconda or install the (larger) Anaconda distribution
Install Python using Miniconda
OR Install Python using Ananconda
2: Setup
2.1: Download workshop code & materials
Clone the repository
git clone [email protected]:aymanibrahim/dltf.git
OR Download the repository as a .zip file
2.2: Change directory to pyds
Change current directory to dltf directory
cd dltf
2.3: Install Python with required packages
Install Python with the required packages into an environment named dltf as per environment.yml YAML file.
conda env create -f environment.yml
When conda asks if you want to proceed, type "y" and press Enter.
3: Activate environment
Change the current default environment (base) into dltf environment.
conda activate dltf
4: Install & Enable ipywidgets extentions
Install ipywidgets JupyterLab extension
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
Enable widgetsnbextension
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension --sys-prefix
5: Check installation
Use check_environment.py script to make sure everything was installed correctly, open a terminal, and change its directory (cd) so that your working directory is the workshop directory dltf you cloned or downloaded. Then enter the following:
python check_environment.py
If everything is OK, you will get the following message:
Your workshop environment is set up
6: Start JupyterLab
Start JupyterLab using:
jupyter lab
JupyterLab will open automatically in your browser.
You may access JupyterLab by entering the notebook server’s URL into the browser.
7: Stop JupyterLab
Press CTRL + C in the terminal to stop JupyterLab.
8: Deactivate environment
Change the current environment (dltf) into the previous environment.
conda deactivate
