The following describes the layout of the repository and its different artifacts:

26
27
27
* ` tensorflow-core `
28
- * All artifacts that build up the core language bindings of TensorFlow for Java.
29
- * Those artifacts provide the minimal support required to use the TensorFlow runtime on a JVM.

+ * All artifacts that build up the core language bindings of TensorFlow for Java
29
+ * Intended audience: projects that provide their own APIs or frameworks on top of
30
+ TensorFlow and just want a thin layer to access the TensorFlow runtime from the JVM

31
32
* ` tensorflow-framework `
32
- * High-level APIs built on top of the core libraries to simplify neural network training and inference
33
- using TensorFlow.
33
+ * Complete but fairly primitive API for building and training neural networks with TensorFlow
34
+ * Intended audience: expert neural network developers who prefer to make explicit, detailed decisions
35
+ about their models and training algorithms
36
+
37
+ * ` tensorflow-keras ` (early WIP; only defined in ` dev ` profile)
38
+ * Partially covers the framework API to allow simpler definition of models and training algorithms
39
+ * Intended to be familiar if you know the Python Keras API, but prioritizes clean, idiomatic Java
40
+ over fidelity to Python
41
+ * Provides defaults based on common best practices
42
+ * Allows developers to selectively be more explicit by overriding defaults or dipping into the framework API
43
+ * Intended audience: neural network developers across the spectrum from beginner to expert who prefer to
44
+ rely mostly on best-practice defaults and then selectively fine-tune

46
* ` ndarray `
36
- * Generic utility library for n-dimensional data I/O operations. It is used by TensorFlow without depending
37
- on it, making its usage eligible to any type of projects, using TensorFlow or not.

48

49

50
