Introduction to TensorFlow

TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. The concept of a computational graph is very important in TensorFlow and was specially designed for creating deep learning models. This library allows developers to deploy computations to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, a server, or even in mobile devices. This library was originally developed by researchers and engineers working at Google. It was open sourced in 2015 and, since then, it has become one of the major libraries in the machine learning world.

TensorFlow provides multiple APIs, and they can be categorized into the following two broad types:

  • Low level: Also known as TensorFlow Core, this is the lowest-level API. This API gives us complete programming control and is aimed at researchers and users who need a high degree of flexibility when...
