What is TensorFlow?

Think of TensorFlow as a high-performance, easy-to-use framework to perform machine learning. The specific algorithm used for this machine learning is neural networks. But these are not ordinary neural nets. These are a souped-up version, including fancy stuff such as Wikipedia">convolutional or Wikipedia">adversarial neural nets. Created by the Google Brain team, TensorFlow provides a user-friendly python front-end, but the computations are done in high performance C++ binaries. Can you tell how excited I am to learn more about this framework and share it with you (if you can’t, I need to work on my writing skills!)?

There are better written resources on the web. Here are a few I liked:

Installing TensorFlow

TensorFlow is great for creating machine learning solutions. The process of installing it is relatively straightforward:

Step 1: Make sure you have Anaconda installed. If not, go to: Installing Anaconda

Step 2: Installing TensorFlow. Initiate the Anaconda prompt (search for “Anaconda”, you should see the program as well as “Anaconda Prompt”). After initiating the DOS prompt, follow the instructions here.

That’s it! Now you have an environment ‘tensorflow_env’ installed within Anaconda. You can see it by opening the Anaconda program and changing the environment to ‘tensorflow_env’. Then install JupyterLab in this environment, and open JupyterLab. You can download a sample tensorflow python notebook here (see the download notebook link). Then open it with JypyterLab and execute on the cells.
