TensorFlow: smarter machine learning, for everyone

November 9, 2015

Just a couple of years ago, you couldn’t talk to the Google app through the noise of a city sidewalk, or read a sign in Russian using Google Translate, or instantly find pictures of your Labradoodle in Google Photos. Our apps just weren’t smart enough. But in a short amount of time they've gotten much, much smarter. Now, thanks to machine learning, you can do all those things pretty easily, and a lot more. But even with all the progress we've made with machine learning, it could still work much better. So we’ve built an entirely new machine learning system, which we call “TensorFlow.” TensorFlow is faster, smarter, and more flexible than our old system, so it can be adapted much more easily to new products and research. It’s a highly scalable machine learning system—it can run on a single smartphone or across thousands of computers in datacenters. We use TensorFlow for everything from speech recognition in the Google app, to Smart Reply in Inbox, to search in Google Photos. It allows us to build and train neural nets up to five times faster than our first-generation system, so we can use it to improve our products much more quickly. We've seen firsthand what TensorFlow can do, and we think it could make an even bigger impact outside Google. So today we’re also open-sourcing TensorFlow. We hope this will let the machine learning community—everyone from academic researchers, to engineers, to hobbyists—exchange ideas much more quickly, through working code rather than just research papers. And that, in turn, will accelerate research on machine learning, in the end making technology work better for everyone. Bonus: TensorFlow is for more than just machine learning. It may be useful wherever researchers are trying to make sense of very complex data—everything from protein folding to crunching astronomy data. Machine learning is still in its infancy—computers today still can’t do what a 4-year-old can do effortlessly, like knowing the name of a dinosaur after seeing only a couple examples, or understanding that “I saw the Grand Canyon flying to Chicago” doesn’t mean the canyon is hurtling over the city. We have a lot of work ahead of us. But with TensorFlow we’ve got a good start, and we can all be in it together.

TensorFlow:更智能的机器学习，奉献给每一个人

2015年11月9号

几年前，你不能透过城市人行道的噪音和谷歌应用交谈，或者用谷歌翻译读取一个俄文标志，或者快速的在谷歌图片里找到你的拉布拉多。我们的应用过去不够聪明。但是在很短的时间内它们变得越来越聪明。现在，感谢机器学习，你能够非常容易的做那些事，而且能做的更多。但是即使有我们在机器学习上取得的所有成绩，它任然能够工作的更好。因此我们构建了一个完全新的机器学习系统，我们称之为“TensorFlow”.TensorFlow 比我们的老系统更快，更聪明，更灵敏，因此它能更容易适应新产品和研究。它是一个高度可扩展的机器学习系统——他能够运行于一个单独的智能手机或者分布运行于数据中心成千上万的电脑上。我么使用TesnorFlow做从谷歌应用上的语音识别到Inbox的智能回应再到谷歌图片搜索。它允许我们构建和训练神经网络比我们第一代系统最多快5倍，因此我们能用它更快的改进我们的产品。我么已经看到了第一手的的TesnosrFlow能干的事，我们认为它能够在谷歌外产生更大的影响。因此今天我们也开源TensorFlow.我么希望这将使机器学习社区——从学院研究员到工程师再到爱好者的每一个人——更快的交流思想，通过工作的代码而不是研究论文。以及，反过来，将加速机器学习的研究，最终使技术更好的为每一个人服务。红利：TensorFlow不仅仅是适用于于机器学习。它可能在研究员尝试理解非常复杂的数据的地方有用——从蛋白质折叠到处理天文数据的每一件事。机器学习仍然处于它的幼年期——今天的计算机仍然不能毫不费劲做一个四岁小孩能做的事，比如在看过几个样本后侯知道恐龙的名字，或者明白“我看到大峡谷飞往芝加哥”不是意味着峡谷在飞向芝加哥。我们前面有很多工作。但是由于TensorFlow我们有一个好的开始，我们能够一起努力。
