Unlocking the power of machine learning for your JavaScript applications with TensorFlow
Who is this presentation for?
- JavaScript developers, web developers, mobile app developers, and full stack developers
Level
Description
TensorFlow.js is a library for training and deploying machine learning models in the browser and in Node.js, and offers unique opportunities for JavaScript developers. Kangyi Zhang, Brijesh Krishnaswami, Joseph Paul Cohen, and Brendan Duke take a deep dive into the TensorFlow.js ecosystem: how to bring an existing machine learning model into your JS app, retrain the model with your data, and go beyond the browser to other JS platforms with live demos of models and featured apps (WeChat virtual plugin from L’Oréal and a radiology diagnostic tool from Mila).
Prerequisite knowledge
- Familiarity with JavaScript and machine learning
What you'll learn
- Learn how TensorFlow enables the use of machine learning in JavaScript applications and resources to get started
kangyi zhang
Kangyi Zhang is a software engineer at Google Brain and a member of the TensorFlow.js team. He’s very excited about sharing how to do machine learning in the JavaScript world, concentrating on native TensorFlow execution under the Node.js runtime, and preparing data for machine learning model in JS.
