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.

The Layers API

In the previous section, we described how to use the Core API of TensorFlow.js, which allows us to construct any operation graph as we like. But this is not always the best choice. You may find yourself in a situation where a high-level API is more relevant when we want to build an application quickly. The Layers API is a Keras-like high-level API that's used to create models in an intrinsic way. You may already be familiar with the style of the Layers API if you've used Keras to construct machine learning models in the past.

There are two ways we can construct a machine learning model with the Layers API:

  • By using the sequential model API
  • By using the functional model API

As you may have already noticed, the Layers API has been made to look similar to the Keras API. Those of you who are already familiar with Keras will be able to use the Layers API...
