Abstract: Tensorflow 2.0 makes Keras the default API for model definition. This is a big change. It makes Tensorflow more accessible to beginners and newcomers and it also disrupts consolidated patterns and habits for experienced Tensorflow programmers. This workshop is aimed to both audiences and it covers how to define models in Tensorflow 2.0 using the tf.keras API. It also covers the commonalities and differences between the open source Keras package and tf.keras, explaining pros and cons of each of the two. If you are getting started with Tensorflow or you're puzzled by the changes in Tensorflow 2.0, come and learn how easy it is to design models using Keras.
