vectors and matrices.
About the technology
TensorFlow, Google's library for large-scale machine learning, makes powerful ML techniques easily accessible. It simplifies often-complex computations by representing them as graphs that are mapped to machines in a cluster or to the processors of a single machine. Offering a complete ecosystem for all stages and types of machine learning, TensorFlow's end-to-end functionality empowers machine learning engineers of all skill levels to solve their problems with ML.
Chris Mattmann is the Deputy Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, where he has been recognised as JPL's first Principal Scientist in the area of Data Science. Chris has applied TensorFlow to challenges he's faced at NASA, including building an implementation of Google's Show & Tell algorithm for image captioning using TensorFlow. He contributes to open source as a former Director at the Apache Software Foundation, and teaches graduate courses at USC in
Content Detection and Analysis, and in Search Engines and Information Retrieval.
Nishant Shukla wrote the first edition of Machine Learning with TensorFlow.
