TensorFlow for Deep Learning

Image
Tensors and TensorFlow Most articles on TensorFlow begin by describing tensors as numerical arrays. This article is written for students attending my course on Artificial Intelligence – Advanced course Part-1, so that they can conceptualize tensors in all its perspectives with applications in various scientific disciplines, mathematics and AI deep learning.    Tensor Calculus and Tensors T ensor  is a concept from mathematical physics that can be used to describe physical properties like scalars, vectors, matrices etc. The concept for tensors was first introduced by Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro  an Italian born mathematician with his publication on tensor calculus. Gregorio’s theory later enabled Albert Einstein to formulate the theory of general relativity. Tensor calculus is a technique that can be regarded as a follow-up on linear algebra. It is a generalization of classical linear algebra. Tensors in physics While tensors can be defined in a purely mat...
