TensorFlow basics

TensorFlow basics

Let's begin with a little understanding of TensorFlow. Now, you can certainly do machine learning, TensorFlow, all of these things with a number of programming languages. However, we're going to be using Python. The reason being, first of all, that Python is so commonly used for machine learning. Secondly, Python itself is free. And finally, there are so many code samples you can find on the internet, some of which we'll be looking at in this actual lesson, but these code samples make it easy for you to expand your knowledge on machine learning for cybersecurity. Now, one of the problems people have is getting everything installed. What you will discover as you move forward in this lesson is that Python frequently includes a lot of packages. There are thousands of packages that that will do anything you need to do. That's both a benefit and a challenge. The challenge is you will sometimes find the aforementioned sample code on the internet requires a number of packages you don't have…
