What Does TensorFlow Mean?
TensorFlow is a free software library focused on machine learning created by Google. Initially released as part of the Apache 2.0 open-source license, TensorFlow was originally developed by engineers and researchers of the Google Brain Team, mainly for internal use. TensorFlow is considered the successor of the closed-source application DistBelief and is presently used by Google for research and production purposes. TensorFlow is considered the first serious implementation of a framework focused on deep learning.
Techopedia Explains TensorFlow
TensorFlow derives its name from the multidimensional arrays known as tensors, which are used by the neural networks for different operations. According to Google, compared to DistBelief, TensorFlow is faster, smarter and more flexible and can be easily adaptable to new areas and products. It was mainly created for deep neural network research and for facilitating machine learning, though TensorFlow has been used in a wide array of other areas as well.
