Hands-On Machine Learning with TensorFlow.js

By: Kai Sasaki

Overview of this book

TensorFlow.js is a framework that enables you to create performant machine learning (ML) applications that run smoothly in a web browser. With this book, you will learn how to use TensorFlow.js to implement various ML models through an example-based approach. Starting with the basics, you'll understand how ML models can be built on the web. Moving on, you will get to grips with the TensorFlow.js ecosystem to develop applications more efficiently. The book will then guide you through implementing ML techniques and algorithms such as regression, clustering, fast Fourier transform (FFT), and dimensionality reduction. You will later cover the Bellman equation to solve Markov decision process (MDP) problems and understand how it is related to reinforcement learning. Finally, you will explore techniques for deploying ML-based web applications and training models with TensorFlow Core. Throughout this ML book, you'll discover useful tips and tricks that will build on your knowledge. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to create your own web-based ML applications and fine-tune models to achieve high performance.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at several techniques we can use to improve the performance and stability of machine learning applications that are written in TensorFlow.js. Since TensorFlow.js is a framework that accelerates various kinds of runtime systems, such as WebGL, understanding its internal structure and implementation is the key to creating a performant application.

It is also important to profile our application's execution. Without complete knowledge of bottleneck and performance characteristics, we may end up with misplaced optimization. We can make use of the profiler that TensorFlow.js implements, as well as the Chrome profiler, to do this since the machine learning application in TensorFlow.js is just a web application. tf-vis shows us the other side of the application. The metrics that are obtained by tf-vis are more application-specific so that people...
