Matrices are the basic elements we use to interchange data through computational graphs. In general terms, a tensor can de defined as a matrix, so you can refer to Declaring tensors in TensorFlow in order to see the options you have to create matrices. Let’s define the matrices we are...

Understanding Variables and Placeholders in TensorFlow
Usually, when we start using TensorFlow, it’s very common to think that defining variables is just as trivial as a HelloWorld program, but understanding how variables (and placeholders) work under the hood is very important to understand more complex concepts because those concepts heavily use variables/placeholders; and, if we don’t...

[Requirement: Tensorflow and NumPy installed on Python +3.5][Requirement: import tensorflow as tf][Requirement: import numpy as np] Tensors are the primary data structure we use in TensorFlow, and, as Wikipedia describes them, “tensors are geometric objects that describe linear relations between geometric vectors, scalars and other tensors”. Tensors can be described...

First, let’s define what a stream is in Java 8: a sequence of functions, actions, inputs, and outputs (better defined as a “pipeline”). Streams API provides functional-style operations to transform these sequences; sources for them can contain arrays, collections, files, etc. In general terms, streams are Monads: “Monads represent computations to be...
