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 have learned about the benefits of constructing a machine learning model on the web and how to use TensorFlow.js to build it. There are two ways we can build a model with TensorFlow.js. The first way is to use the Core API, which helps us build flexible models and optimize their performance as much as possible. The other way is to use the Layers API. This API is similar to Keras, which means we can construct deep learning models more intuitively. We don't need to construct our own model if it is already publicly available.

We also learned that it's possible to import an existing model into TensorFlow.js by using tfjs-converter. By completing this chapter, you know how to construct your own models with TensorFlow.js and import existing models into TensorFlow.js.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to import pretrained models into TensorFlow...
