Introduction to TensorFlow

TensorFlow is a strong machine learning tool, known for its ability to handle complex computations efficiently. In this chapter, we'll introduce you to the fundamental aspects of TensorFlow, laying the groundwork for further investigation in subsequent sections of this course.

You will begin by understanding TensorFlow's architecture and how it fits within the broader machine learning frameworks area. We'll cover the basics of tensors, the core data structure in TensorFlow, and their role in modeling complex algorithms. Additionally, you'll learn about computational graphs, which are central to TensorFlow's ability to optimize and execute operations efficiently.

Our objective is to provide you with a solid foundation in the principles of TensorFlow, enabling you to comprehend how data flows through models. By the end of this chapter, you'll be familiar with important concepts such as tensors and computational graphs, and you'll have a clearer understanding of how TensorFlow helps develop and deploy machine learning models. This knowledge will be essential as you progress and start building your own models in the chapters to come.
