Top 20 TensorFlow Interview Questions

When hiring for a Data Science and AI role, interviewers specifically test candidates for their Python and Artificial Intelligence skills. While AI is a vast topic and can invite questions from varying ends of the spectrum. Interviewers usually ask questions from some of the most-used libraries, concepts, and applications. One such popular topic in AI for Data Science and AI interviews is TensorFlow. 

In continuation to our series on Data Science interview questions, in this article, we share with you some popular questions on TensorFlow. These top 20 TensorFlow interview questions will give you an idea of the type of common questions asked, help you brush up on your basics, and crack the Data Scientist interviews. Earlier we shared with you popular Machine Learning interview questions for Data Scientists. 

Let’s get started. 

What is TensorFlow?

Tensorflow was first made public in 2015. It is a popular python framework used to create deep learning applications. It uses data and performs programming on tensors and lets the user create a flowchart that works on input data.  

The word TensorFlow consists of two parts – Tensor and Flow. A Tensor is defined as a mathematical concept that helps generalize vectors, scalars, and matrices. A tensor is used for the multidimensional representation of the relationship between functions of the coordinate system. The word flow represents the operations that are performed tensors.
