<p>Eli Bixby, Developer Programs Engineer at Google, tells your cohosts <a href="https://twitter.com/francesc">Francesc</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/neurotic">Mark</a> all about <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/">TensorFlow</a> and its applications. Do you want to know what neural networks are? Why does TensorFlow exists? How to get started with it? We cover that and more in our thirsty first episode.</p> <h5 id="about-eli">About Eli</h5> <p>Eli is a Developer Programs Engineer at Google. He joined in 2014 and currently develops on Google Cloud Platform’s machine learning and big data offerings, Tensorflow in particular. Eli is an all-purpose nerd, having dabbled in several research areas, including biophysics, algorithmic game theory, and computational biology, before a recent dive into machine learning.</p> <h5 id="cool-thing-of-the-week">Cool thing of the week</h5> <ul> <li>New Google Cloud Platform Education Grants offer free credits to students <a href="https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/06/new-Google-Cloud-Platform-Education-Grants-offer-free-credits-to-students.html"> announcement</a></li> </ul> <h5 id="interview">Interview</h5> <ul> <li>TensorFlow <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/">homepage</a></li> </ul> <div style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.tensorflow.org/images/tf_logo_transp.png" width="50%" /></div> <ul> <li>Artificial Neural Network <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_neural_network">wikipedia</a></li> <li>Tensors <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor">wikipedia</a></li> <li>Google supercharges machine learning tasks with TPU custom chip <a href="https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-supercharges-machine-learning-tasks-with-custom-chip.html"> blog</a></li> <li>TensorFlow Serving <a href="https://github.com/tensorflow/serving">GitHub</a></li> <li>Diving into Machine Learning through TensorFlow - PyCon 2016 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZBIPwdGtkk">video</a></li> <li>TensorFlow workshop materials <a href="https://github.com/amygdala/tensorflow-workshop">GitHub</a></li> <li>TensorFlow tutorials <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials">docs</a></li> <li>Generative Adversarial Networks <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.2661">research paper</a></li> <li>DCGAN in Tensorflow <a href="https://github.com/carpedm20/DCGAN-tensorflow">GitHub</a></li> </ul> <h5 id="question-of-the-week">Question of the week</h5> <ul> <li>Offline Media Import to Google Cloud Storage <a href="https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/offline-media-import-export"> docs</a></li> <li>Google Cloud Interconnect <a href="https://cloud.google.com/interconnect/docs">docs</a></li> </ul>
