In this book, we will learn how to use TensorFlow.js to create machine learning applications. You'll need to be familiar with the following in order to get started:
- Web-based programming languages, such as JavaScript and TypeScript
- Web platform technology stacks (only a basic knowledge is required)
- The fundamentals of machine learning algorithms
In this chapter, we are going to clarify why machine learning on the web is crucial in modern machine learning use cases and when to use web technology so that you can run your applications. You will also be introduced to the basic APIs of TensorFlow.js so that you can construct machine learning models. These topics act as the basis for the chapters that follow.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Why machine learning on the web?
- Operation graphs
- What is TensorFlow.js?
- Installing TensorFlow...
