Kudos to the team. Anybody know if we can we train in languages other than Python yet (or do I have that wrong)?

From the page:

Language options

TensorFlow comes with an easy-to-use Python interface and no-nonsense interfaces in other languages to build and execute computational graphs. Write stand-alone TensorFlow Python, C++, Java, or Go programs, or try things out in an interactive TensorFlow iPython notebook where you can keep notes, code, and visualizations logically grouped. This is just the start though — we're hoping to entice you to contribute interfaces to your favorite language — be it Lua, JavaScript, or R.

I'll discuss this a bit during my talk at the dev summit.

The short answer is no.

The long answer is yes, but only if you create the model in Python, export it, and then feed training data in other languages. There are some people doing exactly that.

Long term, I'd like to give all languages equal footing, but there's quite a bit of work left.

Yes, though last I remember reading about this the symbolic differentiation only worked in python, and ergo training with other languages wasn't quite there. I think the language on the page was always similar to the above.

Amazing work; it makes using AI and Deep Learning accessible for everyone here really. If you haven't seen it check this out for an intro:

I wish AMD graphics cards were supported fully. I really think AMD should find a way to work with the Tensor Flow team on this...

Been using Tensorflow embedded in a mobile app for a few months and honestly, I’m constantly surprised at how well thought-out the tooling is, and how quickly you can get results. Conversely, I think a few things are still unnecessarily dense (installing dependencies, optimizing hyper-parameters, and some of the embedded/XLA stuff is very raw). Kudos to the team though. It sounds like they’re on the right track with TF overall, and focusing on performance (including the XLA stuff) + ease of use (high-level, Keras API) is absolutely what I want as a user right now. Keep up the great work, y’all.

How do I get started with machine learning?

I have a couple of applications in mind, mostly time series predictions. But the machine learning field seems to be vast and I don't know where to start.
