What is TensorFlow?

In Chapter 1, Introduction to Natural Language Processing, we briefly discussed what TensorFlow is. Now let's take a closer look at it. TensorFlow is an open source distributed numerical computation framework released by Google that is mainly intended to alleviate the painful details of implementing a neural network (for example, computing derivatives of the weights of the neural network). TensorFlow takes this even a step further by providing efficient implementations of such numerical computations using Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), which is a parallel computational platform introduced by NVIDIA. The Application Programming Interface (API) of TensorFlow at https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/ shows that TensorFlow provides thousands of operations that make our lives easier.

TensorFlow was not developed overnight. This is a result of the persistence of talented, good-hearted individuals who wanted to make a difference by bringing deep learning...
