As deep learning practitioners, we have been looking for a library that can serve for various development phases. This library shall be easy for beginners by providing rich neural network reference implementations. Later, it can be extended to address **real-world problems** by controlling training backends to exhibit low-level cognitive behaviours. In the end, it shall be able to serve in challenging **production environments**.

As deep learning practitioners, we have been looking for a library that can serve for various development phases. This library shall be easy for beginners by providing rich neural network reference implementations. Later, it can be extended to address **real-world problems** by controlling training backends to exhibit low-level cognitive behaviours. In the end, it shall be able to serve in challenging **production environments**. TensorLayer is developed with the following goals:
126124

127125
- *Simplicity* : TensorLayer lifts the low-level dataflow abstraction of TensorFlow to **high-level** deep learning modules.
128126
A user often find it easy to bootstrap with TensorLayer, and then dive into low-level implementation only if need.
129127
- *Transparency* : TensorLayer provides access to the **native APIs** of TensorFlow. This helps users achieve flexible controls within the training engine.
130-
- *Composability* : If possible, deep learning modules are composed, not built. TensorLayer can glue existing pieces together (e.g., **connected with** [TF-Slim](http://tensorlayer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/layers.html#connect-tf-slim) and [Keras](https://github.com/tensorlayer/tensorlayer/blob/master/example/tutorial_keras.py)).
131128
- *Performance* : TensorLayer provides **zero-cost** abstraction (see Benchmark below). It can run on distributed and heterogeneous TensorFlow platforms with full power.
