Intro
This blog is about using Tensorflow with Python for machine learning. I'll start with giving some background information in order for the reader to better relate to what's coming up. I'll try to keep things short and to the point. Academic background & work history I have Ph.D. in computational materials physics and in the course of my studies, did numerical simulations about fracture of disordered media (paper specifically). The purpose of the research was to gain insight into fracture of paper so that paper machines could be run at higher speeds. I started my simulations with Cray X-MP and Convex computers which had vector processors inside. Programming was easy since Cray's compiler output vectorized code, provided that usual design criteria for vectorization were met with. In the middle of the graduate studies, computation platform changed to Cray T3E , which consisted of separate computer systems connected with fast optical fibre communications...
