Welcome to the TensorFlow tutorial! TensorFlow is an open-source machine learning framework developed by Google, widely used for tasks like data flow graphs, neural networks, and large-scale distributed computing. Let's dive into the essentials.
🧠 What is TensorFlow?
TensorFlow allows developers to create complex machine learning models and algorithms. Its core concept is tensors—multi-dimensional arrays that represent data. Here's a quick overview:
- Core Features:
- Flexible architecture for research and production
- Support for both CPU and GPU computing
- Extensive libraries for deep learning (e.g., Keras, TF.js)
- Use Cases:
- Image and speech recognition
- Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Reinforcement learning
📦 Getting Started
To begin with TensorFlow, you'll need to install it first. Use the following command:
pip install tensorflow
Once installed, you can start by importing TensorFlow in your Python script:
import tensorflow as tf
🧾 Example Code
Here's a simple example to get you started with TensorFlow:
# Define a simple model
model = tf.keras.Sequential([
tf.keras.layers.Dense(10, activation='relu', input_shape=(None, 5)),
tf.keras.layers.Dense(1)
])
# Compile the model
model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='mse')
# Generate some dummy data
import numpy as np
data = np.random.rand(1000, 5)
labels = np.random.rand(1000, 1)
# Train the model
model.fit(data, labels, epochs=10)
