Introducing TensorFlow

What is TensorFlow

TensorFlow is an open-source machine learning framework developed by Google. It is used to build and train machine learning models, especially in the field of deep learning. TensorFlow provides flexible tools and libraries that support multiple platforms (e.g. CPU, GPU, TPU) and can be used for a variety of applications, including image recognition, natural language processing, and time series analysis.

How Does TensorFlow Work

The TensorFlow architecture operates in three main steps:

1. Data pre-processing: This involves structuring the data and bringing it under one limiting value.

2. Building the model: In this step, the model is built for the data.

3. Training and evaluating the model: The data is used to train the model and test it with unknown data.

Why does TensorFlow Matter

• Scalable: Efficiently operates across various devices, from mobile to complex machines.

• Open Source Platform: Available for free, allowing widespread access and use.

• Graphs: Enhanced data visualization capabilities facilitate easier work with neural networks.

• Debugging: TensorBoard simplifies debugging of nodes, reducing the need to sift through extensive code.

• Parallelism: Utilizes GPU and CPU systems, optimizing memory usage and functioning as a hardware acceleration library.

• Compatible: Supports multiple programming languages, including Python, C++, and JavaScript, enabling users to work in their preferred environments.

• Architectural Support: Employs TPU for faster computations compared to CPU and GPU, with seamless cloud deployment.

• Library Management: Regularly updated by Google, ensuring outstanding performance and continuous improvement.

Target Users of TensorFlow

• Data scientists: A professional analyzes complex data to provide decision-making information.

• Machine Learning Engineers: An expert specializes in designing and implementing machine learning models.

• Researchers: Scientists conduct experiments and research in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

• Developers: Software engineers integrating machine learning capabilities into applications and systems.

• Statisticians: Experts in statistical analysis who leverage TensorFlow for predictive modeling and data analysis.

• Predictive Modelers: Users focused on creating models that forecast future outcomes based on historical data.

Bug Fixes and Security Improvement

Debugging

• TF Core:

  • Random number generation (RNG) system

    • Add argument alg to tf.random.stateless_* functions to explicitly select the RNG algorithm.

    • Add tf.nn.experimental.stateless_dropout, a stateless version of tf.nn.dropout.

    • tf.random.Generator now can be created inside the scope of tf.distribute.experimental.ParameterServerStrategy and tf.distribute.experimental.CentralStorageStrategy.

  • Add an experimental session config tf.experimental.disable_functional_ops_lowering which disables functional control flow op lowering optimization. This is useful when executing within a portable runtime where control flow op kernels may not be loaded due to selective registration.

  • Add a new experimental argument experimental_is_anonymous to tf.lookup.StaticHashTable.__init__ to create the table in anonymous mode. In this mode, the table resource can only be accessed via resource handles (not resource names) and will be deleted automatically when all resource handles pointing to it are gone.

• tf.data:

  • Introduce the tf.data.experimental.at API which provides random access for input pipelines that consist of transformations that support random access. The initial set of transformations that support random access includes: tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices,tf.data.Dataset.shuffle, tf.data.Dataset.batch, tf.data.Dataset.shard, tf.data.Dataset.map, and tf.data.Dataset.range.

  • Promote tf.data.Options.experimental_deterministic API to tf.data.Options.deterministic and deprecate the experimental endpoint.

  • Move autotuning options fromtf.data.Options.experimental_optimization.autotune* to a newly created tf.data.Options.autotune.* and remove support for tf.data.Options.experimental_optimization.autotune_buffers.

  • Add support for user-defined names of tf.data core Python API, which can be used to disambiguate tf.data events in TF Profiler Trace Viewer.

  • Promote tf.data.experimental.sample_from_datasets API to tf.data.Dataset.sample_from_datasets and deprecate the experimental endpoint.

  • Added TF_GPU_ALLOCATOR=cuda_malloc_async that use cudaMallocAsync from CUDA 11.2. This could become the default in the future.

Security

• Fixes a code injection issue in saved_model_cli (CVE-2021-41228)

• Fixes a vulnerability due to use of uninitialized value in Tensorflow (CVE-2021-41225)

• Fixes a heap OOB in FusedBatchNorm kernels (CVE-2021-41223)

• Fixes an arbitrary memory read in ImmutableConst (CVE-2021-41227)

• Fixes a heap OOB in SparseBinCount (CVE-2021-41226)

• Fixes a heap OOB in SparseFillEmptyRows (CVE-2021-41224)

• Fixes a segfault due to negative splits in SplitV (CVE-2021-41222)

• Fixes segfaults and vulnerabilities caused by accesses to invalid memory during shape inference in Cudnn* ops (CVE-2021-41221)
