I'm guessing english is not your first language, so I just wanted to point out that "bare bottom" is generally synonymous with "uncovered buttocks" ie. in the context of changing an infant's diaper.

Perhaps you were meaning to put "bare bones"? Google's definition of the latter is "reduced to or comprising only the basic or essential elements of something."

Don't want to detract from your point but I think your title is throwing some people off. I know I would be hesitant to click something at work that sounds like it could contain nudity.

Well, the title of the tutorial is "Naked Tensor"...

I think the last example was a clASSifier, so it makes sense.

But it works sooo perfectly in the current vote count...

Simple example? Before finishing the first paragraph, it says

"The slope and y-intercept of the line are determined using gradient descent."

What on earth does that mean? Maybe they should teach mathematics in english at universities outside of english speaking countries. German mathematics does not help here.

I wish there was a 4GL like SQL for machine learning using dynamic programming for algorithm selection and model synthesis like a dbms query planner.

I like these kind of "Hello, world!" examples for TensorFlow. As a TensorFlow beginner, I need all the references I can get. Here is what I need right now: "Hello, we meet again!". I can build a neural net model, and train (albeit, often badly) a model, but saving and restoring the trained weights so that I can run the model again is giving me fits. I am clearly missing something fundamental about how to restore a Te…

This save/restore tutorial was shared early by someone who is writing similar TensorFlow primers:

Slope and intercept are very standard names for the parameters of a linear regression model. Gradient descent is the name of the algorithm used.

I'm not sure about the rules, but shouldn't posts linking to own, personal projects be prefixed with "Show HN:"? I've seen a lot such posts lately where the poster was clearly the author as well.

No, Show HN is a different thing with its own (generally stricter) rules. You don't have to add it to things just because you happen to be the author.
