Diving into the TensorFlow Code
This blog post looks into the variables, placeholders, cost values, etc. of TensorFlow code and discusses the potential of Deep Q-Learner.
Below are the videos from the TensorFlow Seattle meetup—sponsored and organized by Altoros on January 21, 2016.
An overview of TensorFlow
In this session, Akshay Srivatsan of Bloomberg LP provides an overview of TensorFlow, speaking of its mechanics and taking a glimpse at TensorBoard. He also mentions the likely scenarios of TensorFlow evolution.
Dive into the TensorFlow code
In the second part of the session, Akshay demonstrates the actual TensorFlow code, diving into its variables, placeholders, cost values, etc. In addition, he talks about Deep Q-Learner that showcases the potential of what can be built with TensorFlow.
