Eli Bixby, Developer Programs Engineer at Google, tells your cohosts

Francesc (https://twitter.com/francesc) and Mark (https://twitter.com/neurotic)

all about TensorFlow (https://www.tensorflow.org/) 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.
