Data Model in TensorFlow

The data model in TensorFlow is represented by tensors. Without using complex mathematical definitions, we can say that a tensor (in TensorFlow) identifies a multidimensional numerical array. But we will see more details on tensor in the next sub-section.

Tensors

Let's see a formal definition of tensors from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor) as follows:

"Tensors are geometric objects that describe linear relations between geometric vectors, scalars, and other tensors. Elementary examples of such relations include the dot product, the cross product, and linear maps. Geometric vectors, often used in physics and engineering applications, and scalars themselves are also tensors."

This data structure is characterized ...
