Hands-On Deep Learning with TensorFlow

Simple computations

First, we're going to take a look at the tensor object type. Then we'll have a graphical understanding of TensorFlow to define computations. Finally, we'll run the graphs with sessions, showing how to substitute intermediate values.

Defining scalars and tensors

The first thing you need to do is download the source code pack for this book and open the simple.py file. You can either use this file to copy and paste lines into TensorFlow or CoCalc, or type them directly yourselves. First, let's import tensorflow as tf. This is a convenient way to refer to it in Python. You'll want to hold your constant numbers in tf.constant calls. For example, let's do a = tf.constant(1) and b = tf.constant(2):

import tensorflow as tf # You can create ...
