Understanding TensorFlow.js
TensorFlow recently open sourced TensorFlow.js. This is an open source library that helps us define and train deep learning models entirely on the browser using JavaScript as well as through a high-level layered API. We can use this to train deep learning models entirely on the client side. A server GPU is not required to train these models.
The following diagram illustrates the API overview of TensorFlow.js:
This is powered by WebGL. It also provides a high-level layered API. It has a support for Eager execution, too. You can achieve three things using TensorFlow.js:
- Load existing TensorFlow/Keras models for in browser predictions
- Retrain existing models using client data
- Define and train Deep Learning models from scratch on the Browser
