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.

Machine Learning for the Web

In this book, we will learn how to use TensorFlow.js to create machine learning applications. You'll need to be familiar with the following in order to get started:

  • Web-based programming languages, such as JavaScript and TypeScript
  • Web platform technology stacks (only a basic knowledge is required)
  • The fundamentals of machine learning algorithms

In this chapter, we are going to clarify why machine learning on the web is crucial in modern machine learning use cases and when to use web technology so that you can run your applications. You will also be introduced to the basic APIs of TensorFlow.js so that you can construct machine learning models. These topics act as the basis for the chapters that follow.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Why machine learning on the web?
  • Operation graphs
  • What is TensorFlow.js?
  • Installing TensorFlow...
