Data model

The data model in TensorFlow is represented by tensors. Without using complex mathematical definitions, we can say that a tensor (in TensorFlow) identifies a multidimensional numerical array.

This data structure is characterized by three parameters--Rank, Shape, and Type.

Rank

Each tensor is described by a unit of dimensionality called rank. It identifies the number of dimensions of the tensor, for this reason, a rank is a known-as order or n-dimensions of a tensor. A rank zero tensor is a scalar, a rank one tensor ID a vector, while a rank two tensor is a matrix.

The following code defines a TensorFlow scalar, a vector, a matrix and a cube_matrix, in the next example we show how the rank works:

 
import tensorflow as tf

scalar = tf.constant(100)
vector...
