What is TensorFlow?

TensorFlow is a library developed by the Google Brain Team to accelerate machine learning and deep neural network research. The most famous deep learning library in the world is Google's TensorFlow. Google product uses machine learning in all of its products to improve the search engine, translation, image captioning or recommendations. It was built to run on multiple CPUs or GPUs and even mobile operating systems, and it has several wrappers in several languages like Python, C++ or Java.

 

For example, Google users can experience a faster and more refined the search with AI. If the user types a keyword a the search bar, Google provides a recommendation about what could be the next word.

It is called Tensorflow because it takes input as a multi-dimensional array, also known as tensors. Users can construct a sort of flowchart of operations i.e. Graph that users want to perform on that input. The input goes in at one end, and then it flows through this system of multiple operations and comes out the other end as output. This is why it is called TensorFlow because the tensor goes in it flows through a list of operations, and then it comes out the other side.
