How can Tensorflow be used to train the model using Python?

The model can be trained using the ‘train’ method in Tensorflow, where the epochs (number of times the data has to be trained to fit the model) and the training data are specified.

We are using the Google Colaboratory to run the below code. Google Colab or Colaboratory helps run Python code over the browser and requires zero configuration and free access to GPUs (Graphical Processing Units). Colaboratory has been built on top of Jupyter Notebook.

print("The model is being trained")
epochs=12
history = model.fit(
   train_ds,
   validation_data=val_ds,
   epochs=epochs
)

Explanation

• The model is trained to fit the data.
• This is done using the 'fit' method.
