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 the theory behind the logistic regression model and how it solves the binary classification problem. Binary classification is a fundamental problem. You can naturally extend logistic regression to multiple class classification problems.

Ultimately, you learned about three ways in which you can implement a logistic regression model on the web. First, we looked at the TensorFlow.js Core API, which is suitable if we want to implement the algorithm in any way we like. It is capable of covering any kind of use case that can be solved by the operation graph. Then, we looked at the Layers API, which is useful if we want to construct a model that has a simple stack of neural layers. This API can help us build logistic regression but also proves its merit when it's used to create deep learning applications. Finally, we introduced machinelearn...
