Participants should plan to attend both days of training course. Note: to attend training courses, you must be registered for a Platinum or Training pass; does not include access to tutorials on Tuesday.

The TensorFlow library provides for the use of computational graphs with automatic parallelization across resources. This architecture is ideal for implementing neural networks. Dylan Bargteil explores TensorFlow's capabilities in Python, demonstrating how to build machine learning algorithms piece by piece and how to use TensorFlow's Keras API with several hands-on applications.

What you'll learn, and how you can apply it

  • Understand machine learning, neural networks, deep learning, and artificial intelligence basic concepts
  • Learn what TensorFlow is and what applications it's good for
  • Discover how to create deep learning models for classification and regression using TensorFlow
  • Evaluate the benefits and disadvantages of using TensorFlow over other machine learning software

Who is this presentation for?

  • You're a software engineer or programmer who wants to develop a basic understanding of machine learning.
  • You have experience modeling or have a background in data science, and you want to learn TensorFlow.

We will be using TensorFlow 2.0, and we will make use of the Keras API for building and training neural networks.

PyTorch is a different deep learning framework that is distinct from TensorFlow and will not be covered (though comparisons are made where relevant).

I am also interested about the version.

Also I would like to know if we will be using KERAS or PYTORCH for model training?

Is it going to be TensorFlow 2.0?
