Using the TensorFlow API: An Introductory Tutorial Series

Editor's note: The TensorFlow API has undergone changes since this series was first published. However, the general ideas are the same, and an otherwise well-structured tutorial such as this provides a great jumping off point and opportunity to consult the API documentation to identify and implement said changes. In this tutorial I'll explain how to build a simple working Recurrent Neural Network in TensorFlow. This is the first in a series of seven parts where various aspects and techniques of building Recurrent Neural Networks in TensorFlow are covered. A short introduction to TensorFlow is available here.
