What is TensorFlow? Nedir?

TensorFlow is an open-source library developed by Google for building machine learning and deep learning models.

Release Year: 2015Google Brain

TensorFlow was open-sourced by the Google Brain team in 2015. Named after tensor computations performed on a data flow graph, TensorFlow is one of the most comprehensive platforms in the machine learning and AI field. TensorFlow offers various abstraction layers from low-level tensor operations to the high-level Keras API. tf.data for data pipelines, tf.keras for model building, tf.distribute for distributed training, TensorBoard for visualization, and TF Serving for model deployment. TensorFlow Lite runs on mobile and embedded devices, TensorFlow.js in web browsers, and TensorFlow Extended (TFX) in production ML pipelines. TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) support enables accelerated training on Google Cloud. Google, Intel, Twitter, Airbnb, and Coca-Cola use TensorFlow. Image classification, natural language processing, speech recognition, recommendation systems, and autonomous vehicles are among TensorFlow's application areas.
