Appendix B. A quick tutorial of tensors and operations in TensorFlow.js

This appendix focuses on the parts of the TensorFlow.js API that are not tf.Model. Although tf.Model provides a complete set of methods for training and evaluating models and using them for inference, you often need to use non-tf.Model parts of TensorFlow.js in order to work with tf.Model objects. The most common cases are

Converting your data into tensors that can be fed to tf.Model objects
Marshalling the data out of the predictions made by tf.Model, which are in the format of tensors, so they can be used by other parts of your program

As you will see, getting data into and out of tensors is not hard, but there are some customary patterns and cautionary points worth ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
