Offloading to the web with TensorFlow.js

One of the biggest drivers of failures in IoT is cost. Often, devices are sold at a low fixed price and then have a reoccurring cost for the device manufacturer. There are multiple ways of reducing reoccurring costs. One of these is to offload some of the machine learning compute to the device or application accessing the data. In this recipe, we are going to use TensorFlow.js to offload the expensive compute to the browser of the person looking at the web page.
