  • You cannot directly pass data in between graphs

Hence, the recommended approach is to have multiple subgraphs in a single graph. In case you wish to use your own graph instead of the default graph, you can do so with the tf.graph() command. Here is an example where we create our own graph, g, and execute it as the default graph:

g = tf.Graph()output = 0# Assume Linear Model y = w * ...
