Overview of TensorFlow

What’s Tensorflow?
  • Open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs.
  • Originally developed by Google Brain Team to conduct machine learning and deep neural networks research.
  • General enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well.

TensorFlow provides an extensive suite of functions and classes that allow users to build various models from scratch

Why TensorFlow?
  • Python API
  • Portability: deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop,server, or mobile device with a single API
  • Flexibility: from Raspberry Pi, Android, Windows, iOS, Linux to server farms
  • Visualization (TensorBoard is da bomb)
  • Checkpoints (for managing experiments)
    Auto-differentiation autodiff (no more taking derivatives by hand. Yay)
  • Large community (> 10,000 commits and > 3000 TF-related repos in 1 year)
  • Awesome projects already using TensorFlow
Companies using Tensorflow

Simplified TensorFlow?
  • TF Learn (tf.contrib.learn): simplified interface that helps users transition from the the world of one-liner such as scikit-learn
  • TF Slim (tf.contrib.slim): lightweight library for defining, training and evaluating complex models in TensorFlow.
  • High level API: Keras, TFLearn, Pretty Tensor

But we don’t need baby Tensorflow …
