Experimental Object Recognition with TensorFlow
It’s time for something a bit more experimental. As we’ve seen, artificial intelligence (AI) offers lots of new opportunities to explore when writing code assisted by AI as well as building solutions that are powered by AI. In this chapter, we’ll take a look at TensorFlow. Google developed and published TensorFlow under an open source license. It enables developers to use and train machine learning models for different sorts of applications. You can find a curated list of demos on the TensorFlow website: https://www.tensorflow.org/js/demos.
We’re going to apply a small part of the libraries that Google has published by leveraging the default published model for object recognition.
First, we’ll build a small example prototype to discover some of the capabilities. Then, we’ll apply our newly acquired knowledge to build something experimental and fun. It’s another game, where you have...
