- albertzeyer 11y agoActually, this looks much more like Theano to me. It's all symbolic, it has symbolic differentiation, it's Python and it even seems to have a similar API like Theano. In the Whitepaper (http://download.tensorflow.org/paper/whitepaper2015.pdf http://download.tensorflow.org/paper/whitepaper2015.pdf), it's compared to Theano, Torch and others.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoThat might be a strong advantage in its favor, though. Building a better version of a proven concept with similar usage/API's often gets more market uptake. Might get more use.
- mailshanx 11y agoTensorFlow seems to emphasise the distributed computing aspects a lot more compared to Torch7. Also, TensorFlow is made for deploying machine learning pipelines in general, whereas Torch7 focuses on deep neural networks specifically.
