What is TensorFlow?

In the last chapter, we examined the different types of applications we could build with our knowledge of machine learning (ML), from chatbots to facial recognition systems and from house price prediction to detecting fraud in the banking industry – these are some of the exciting applications we can build using deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow. The question we would logically ask is what exactly is TensorFlow? And why should we learn it at all?

TensorFlow is an open source end-to-end framework for building deep learning applications. It was developed by a team of data professionals at Google in 2011 and made openly available in 2015. TensorFlow is a flexible, scalable solution that enables us to build models with ease using the Keras API. It allows us to access a large array of pretrained deep learning models, thus making it the framework of choice for many data professionals in the industry and academia. Currently, TensorFlow is used at powerhouses...
