TensorFlow is an open-source software library for dataflow and differentiable programming across a range of tasks. It is widely used for deep learning and machine learning applications. In this section, we will explore the basics of TensorFlow and its applications in deep learning.
Quick Overview
- TensorFlow: An open-source library developed by Google Brain team.
- Deep Learning: A subset of machine learning that structures algorithms in layers to create an "artificial neural network" that can learn from large amounts of data.
- Applications: Image recognition, natural language processing, speech recognition, and many more.
Getting Started
To get started with TensorFlow, you need to install it on your machine. You can download and install TensorFlow from the official website: TensorFlow Installation.
Key Components
- Graph: A series of nodes and edges that represent computations.
- Tensor: A multi-dimensional array representing data.
- Operation: A function that takes tensors as inputs and produces tensors as outputs.
Example
Here's a simple example of a TensorFlow program that adds two numbers:
import tensorflow as tf
a = tf.constant(5)
b = tf.constant(6)
c = a + b
with tf.Session() as sess:
print(sess.run(c))
