Deep Learning is one of the Hottest topics of 2020 and for a good reason. The advancements in the Industry has made it possible for Machines/Computer Programs to actually replace Humans. Artificial Intelligence is going to create 2.3 million Jobs by 2020 and a lot of this is being made possible by TensorFlow. So, in this Install TensorFlow article, I’ll be covering the following topics:

  • What is TensorFlow?
  • TensorFlow Applications
  • TensorFlow Installation Process

What is TensorFlow?

TensorFlow is Google’s Open Source Machine Learning Framework for dataflow programming across a range of tasks. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays ( tensors) communicated between them.

Tensors are just multidimensional arrays, an extension of 2-dimensional tables to data with a higher dimension. There are many features of TensorFlow which makes it appropriate for Deep Learning.

TensorFlow Applications

Now TensorFlow has helped a lot of companies built world-class models to solve real problems. So, before we install TensorFlow, let’s have a look at some of the applications of it.

Airbnb: It improves the guest experience by using TensorFlow to classify images and detect objects at scale.

Coca-Cola: The advancements in Tensorflow enabled Coco-Cola to finally achieve a long-sought frictionless proof-of-purchase capability.

GE Healthcare: GE trained a Neural Network using TensorFlow to identify specific anatomy during brain MRIs to help improve speed and reliability.

Twitter: Twitter used TensorFlow to build their “Ranked Timeline”, allowing users to not miss any tweets even if they follow a thousand other users.

Install TensorFlow: Steps

There are few Pre-requisites before we install Tensorflow:

Pip is already there in python 3.5.x onwards.

  • Set up Virtual Environment

To set up the Virtual environment:

After this use the command

And, you’re done. Go ahead, after you install TensorFlow, just import it and start using it’s amazing deep learning capabilities and create something new.
