TensorFlow Examples

This tutorial was designed for easily diving into TensorFlow, through examples. For readability, it includes both notebooks and source codes with explanation.

It is suitable for beginners who want to find clear and concise examples about TensorFlow. Besides the traditional 'raw' TensorFlow implementations, you can also find the latest TensorFlow API practices (such as layers, estimator, dataset, ...).

Update (03/18/2018): TensorFlow's Eager API examples available! (TF v1.5+ recommended).

If you are using older TensorFlow version (0.11 and under), please have a look here.
