Populating tensor elements with a random distribution

TensorFlow provides us with the functions to generate tensors filled with random valued distributions.

The distributions generated are affected by the graph-level or the operation-level seed. The graph-level seed is set using tf.set_random_seed, while the operation-level seed is given as the argument seed in all of the random distribution functions. If no seed is specified, then a random seed is used.

More details on random seeds in TensorFlow can be found at the following link:  https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/set_random_seed.

The following table lists some of the tensor generating functions to populate elements of the tensor with random valued distributions:
