Yes, it is possible to run Tensorflow on the Puck, but you'll have to build your own firmware.

By default the Puck contains a networking stack so you can connect it to the internet with WiFi/GSM/etc and that uses up enough space that you can't have that and Tensorflow installed.

But compiling your own firmware is pretty straightforward - use the instructions on https://github.com/espruino/Espruino then edit https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/blob/master/boards/PUCKJS.py and replace:
```
     'NET',
     'GRAPHICS',
     'CRYPTO','SHA256','SHA512',
     'AES',
```
with
```
'TENSORFLOW`'
```
and you're good to go.

Otherwise you could hard-code some gesture recognition by looking at the values in the accel event. Detecting big changes in acceleration in each axis (eg big +X to big -X) would be a good start I reckon.

There's also the gyro, which could be good for detecting twistsing motion
