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.

Background of binary classification

Classification is a type of supervised learning. We need a machine learning model in order to predict the correct label for a new instance. For example, the handwritten image recognition problem is categorized as a classification problem. The most popular dataset for handwritten digits is MNIST. MNIST was developed by Yann LeCun, who won the Turing award in 2018 for leading the current boom of artificial intelligence research. This is the prediction result when using TensorFlow.js:

While handwritten digit classification is a multi-label classification problem, the problem we are going to solve in this chapter is binary classification. The target labels to be predicted in the binary classification situation have only two labels: positive and negative. In the following example, there are two classes: a set of rhombuses and circles. If these two...
