# TensorFlow Research Models

This folder contains machine learning models implemented by researchers in
[TensorFlow](https://tensorflow.org). The models are maintained by their
respective authors. To propose a model for inclusion, please submit a pull
request.

Currently, the models are compatible with TensorFlow 1.0 or later. If you are
running TensorFlow 0.12 or earlier, please [upgrade your
installation](https://www.tensorflow.org/install).
