4. Technical Presentation

Andrew Tinits	Title : Introduction to TensorFlow Abstract: TensorFlow is "an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them." It was developed at Google for machine learning and neural networks research, but is general enough to be applicable to other domains. I'll be giving a basic introduction and tutorial.
