# Overview


## MNIST For ML Beginners

If you're new to machine learning, we recommend starting here.  You'll learn
about a classic problem, handwritten digit classification (MNIST), and get a
gentle introduction to multiclass classification.

## Deep MNIST for Experts

If you're already familiar with other deep learning software packages, and are
already familiar with MNIST, this tutorial with give you a very brief primer on
TensorFlow.

## TensorFlow Mechanics 101

This is a technical tutorial, where we walk you through the details of using
TensorFlow infrastructure to train models at scale.  We use again MNIST as the
example.

## Convolutional Neural Networks

An introduction to convolutional neural networks using the CIFAR-10 data set.
Convolutional neural nets are particularly tailored to images, since they
exploit translation invariance to yield more compact and effective
representations of visual content.

## Vector Representations of Words

This tutorial motivates why it is useful to learn to represent words as vectors
(called *word embeddings*). It introduces the word2vec model as an efficient
method for learning embeddings. It also covers the high-level details behind
noise-contrastive training methods (the biggest recent advance in training
embeddings).

## Recurrent Neural Networks

An introduction to RNNs, wherein we train an LSTM network to predict the next
word in an English sentence.  (A task sometimes called language modeling.)

## Sequence-to-Sequence Models

A follow on to the RNN tutorial, where we assemble a sequence-to-sequence model
for machine translation.  You will learn to build your own English-to-French
translator, entirely machine learned, end-to-end.

## Mandelbrot Set

TensorFlow can be used for computation that has nothing to do with machine
learning.  Here's a naive implementation of Mandelbrot set visualization.

## Partial Differential Equations

As another example of non-machine learning computation, we offer an example of
a naive PDE simulation of raindrops landing on a pond.

## MNIST Data Download

Details about downloading the MNIST handwritten digits data set.  Exciting
stuff.

## Image Recognition

How to run object recognition using a convolutional neural network
trained on ImageNet Challenge data and label set.

[View Tutorial](../tutorials/image_recognition/index.md)

We will soon be releasing code for training a state-of-the-art Inception model.


## Deep Dream Visual Hallucinations

Building on the Inception recognition model, we will release a TensorFlow
version of the [Deep Dream](https://github.com/google/deepdream) neural network
visual hallucination software.
