Exercises

If you do not already have Python installed on your computer, visit https://www.python.org/downloads/ and install the current version. Ensure Python is in your search path by typing python –-version at a system command prompt. You should receive a response similar to Python 3.10.3.
Install TensorFlow (an open source platform for machine learning) with the command (also at the system command prompt) pip install tensorflow. You may need to use the Run as administrator option when opening the command prompt to get a successful installation. Install Matplotlib (a library for visualizing data) with the command pip install matplotlib.
Create a program using the TensorFlow library that loads the CIFAR-10 dataset and displays a subset of the images along with the label associated with each image. This dataset is a product of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) and contains 60,000 images, each consisting of 32x32 RGB pixels. The images...
