TensorFlow
- TensorFlow is a machine learning library by Google
- It is open sourced
- It is mainly used for implementing neural networks
- It is an end-to-end platform, which means you can use it for building your
models from scratch to deploying them into a production environment

Why TensorFlow for this course?
- Most used library for deep learning
- Easy transition from research to production
- Extensive industry support
- Easy deployment around servers, mobile devices, web platforms etc
- You can easily sort out the issues using GitHub, StackOverflow etc
- Used by world’s top AI companies
- Consistently updated with cutting edge changes

Some technical reasons
- Easy and readable syntax
- Being a low-level library it provide more flexibility to developers to implement
their own functionalities and services
- Provides high level API for implementing advanced neural net architectures
- Distributed training

What’s new in TF2?
- tf.function(): Creates a callable TensorFlow graph from a Python function
- tf.GradientTape(): Records operations for automatic differentiation
- tf.data(): helps in building complex input pipelines from simple, and reusable
pieces

Changes with respect to TensorFlow 1.x
- Cleaning up of APIs: many APIs are either gone or moved
- Eager execution (default): no need manually compile the abstract syntax tree
- No more globals: no need to track variables
- Introduction of function and elimination of session

Model building: from simple to flexible
1. Sequential API + built in layers ----- > New users
2. Functional API + built in layers ----- > Engineers with standard use case
3. Functional API + custom layers ----- > Engineers requiring control
+ custom metrics
+ custom losses
4. Subclassing: write everything ----- > Researchers
yourself from
scratch

Keras
- Keras is a high-level neural network API
- Written and implemented in Python
- Can run on top of TensorFlow
- It was designed keeping fast experimentation in mind.

Keras advantages
● User-friendly
○ Simple and user friendly interface. Actionable feedbacks are also provided.

● Modular and composable

● Easy to extend
○ Gives freedom to add custom blocks to build on new ideas.
○ Cusrom layers, metrics, loss functions etc. can be defined easily.

Keras vs tf.keras
- In TF2 instead of writing “import keras” you will write
“from tensorflow import keras”
- In colab, if you see the message “Using TensorFlow Backend”, you are not
using tensorflow 2.x implementation of keras
- tf.keras is the TensorFlow’s implementation of keras so it supports all the
latest changes in the TensorFlow version
- tf.keras is also better in support and maintenance
