Exploring TensorFlow: Building Deep Learning Models

This entry is part 8 of 8 in the series November 2025 - Advanced Programming and Cybersecurity

Introduction

TensorFlow has become the go-to framework for deep learning. Whether you’re classifying images or building recommendation systems, understanding its workflow can empower your projects.

The Building Blocks

  • Tensors: Multidimensional data arrays.
  • Graphs: Define computation flow.
  • Sessions (TF1) / Eager Execution (TF2): Run operations imperatively.
  • Keras API: High-level interface for neural networks.

Simple Example

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras

model = keras.Sequential([
    keras.layers.Dense(128, activation='relu'),
    keras.layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax')
])

model.compile(optimizer='adam',
              loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
              metrics=['accuracy'])

Training and Deployment

Use TensorBoard to visualise training, and TensorFlow Lite for mobile deployment.Understanding optimisation, overfitting, and validation improves accuracy and reliability.

Conclusion

Deep learning doesn’t have to be daunting. With frameworks like TensorFlow, powerful AI tools are within every developer’s reach.
