Advent of Code 2021 in pure TensorFlow - day 12
Day 12 problem projects us the world of graphs. TensorFlow can be used to work on graphs pretty easily since a graph can be represented as an adjacency matrix, and thus, we can have a tf.Tensor containing our graph. However, the "natural" way of exploring a graph is using recursion, and as we'll see in this article, this prevents us to solve the problem using a pure TensorFlow program, but we have to work only in eager mode.

Advent of Code 2021 in pure TensorFlow - day 11
The Day 11 problem has lots in common with Day 9. In fact, will re-use some computer vision concepts like the pixel neighborhood, and we'll be able to solve both parts in pure TensorFlow by using only a tf.queue as a support data structure.

Advent of Code 2021 in pure TensorFlow - day 10
The day 10 challenge projects us in the world of syntax checkers and autocomplete tools. In this article, we'll see how TensorFlow can be used as a generic programming language for implementing a toy syntax checker and autocomplete.

Advent of Code 2021 in pure TensorFlow - day 9
The day 9 challenge can be seen as a computer vision problem. TensorFlow contains some computer vision utilities that we'll use - like the image gradient - but it's not a complete framework for computer vision (like OpenCV). Anyway, the framework offers primitive data types like tf.TensorArray and tf.queue that we can use for implementing a flood-fill algorithm in pure TensorFlow and solve the problem.
