What is the difference between tensorflow and GoogleNet?

18 views (last 30 days)
I know a little bit about both of them, but I am really new to AI. I just wonder if they are just competely different tools or they somehow related.There are no paragraph comparing them on the internet.
They are both developed by Google.
It seems Matlab using GoodgleNet as one of its deep network learning tool, and tensorflow can also be used by Matlab but has its limitation. Tensorflow seems more compatible with Python.
I know GoogleNet is a trained network, and tensorflow can also use pretrained network.
Please correct me if I am wrong in any above.

TensorFlow and GoogleNet are related but different tools in the field of AI.
TensorFlow is an open-source software library developed by Google for building and training machine learning models. It provides a framework for defining and running computational graphs, which are used to represent the mathematical operations of a machine learning model. TensorFlow supports a wide range of machine learning algorithms and is used in many different applications, from image and speech recognition to natural language processing and computer vision.
GoogleNet, on the other hand, is a specific deep neural network architecture developed by Google for image classification. It was the winner of the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC) in 2014, and it achieved state-of-the-art results on several other benchmarks. GoogleNet is one of many deep neural network architectures that can be trained using TensorFlow or other machine learning frameworks.
Some specific points to help you:
  • TensorFlow and GoogleNet are both developed by Google, but they serve different purposes. TensorFlow is a general-purpose machine learning library, while GoogleNet is a specific deep neural network architecture for image classification.
  • MATLAB supports both GoogleNet and TensorFlow as deep learning tools. MATLAB has built-in support for GoogleNet, which means that it comes with pre-trained models that can be used for image classification tasks. MATLAB also has support for TensorFlow, which can be used to build and train custom deep neural networks.
  • TensorFlow is primarily used with Python, although it can also be used with other languages through its C++ and Java APIs. Python is a popular language for machine learning and has many libraries that work well with TensorFlow, which is one reason why it is often used together with TensorFlow.
  • You are correct that GoogleNet is a pre-trained deep neural network, and TensorFlow can also be used with pre-trained networks. In fact, TensorFlow provides APIs for loading pre-trained models, which can be used for tasks such as image classification, object detection, and natural language processing.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
