A general overview of TensorFlow


TensorFlow is an open source framework from Google for scientific and numerical computation using data flow graphs that stand for TensorFlow's execution model. The data flow graphs used in TensorFlow help ML experts to perform more advanced and intensive training on their data to develop DL and predictive analytics models.

As the name implies, TensorFlow includes operations that are performed by neural networks on multidimensional data arrays, that is, flow of tensors. Nodes in a flow graph correspond to mathematical operations, that is, addition, multiplication, matrix factorization, and so on; whereas, edges correspond to tensors that ensure communication between edges and nodes – that is, data flow and control flow. This way, TensorFlow provides some widely used and robustly implemented linear models and DL algorithms.

You can perform numerical computations on a CPU. However, with TensorFlow, it is also possible to distribute the training among multiple...
