Foreword
AI and machine learning are revolutionary technologies that can change the world, but they can only do that if there are developers using good APIs to take advantage of the advancements these technologies bring.
One such advancement is the ability to run machine learning models in the browser, empowering applications that act intelligently.
The rise of TensorFlow.js tells me that AI has arrived. It’s no longer exclusively in the realm of data scientists with supercomputers; it’s now accessible to the millions of developers who code in JavaScript daily. But there’s a gap. The tools and techniques for building models are still very much in the hands of those who know the mysteries of Python, NumPy, graphics processing units (GPUs), data science, feature modeling, supervised learning, tensors, and many more weird and wonderful terms that you probably aren’t familiar with!
What Gant has done with this book is to cut to the chase, teaching you the important stuff you need to know while keeping you firmly within the web developer role, using JavaScript and the browser. He’ll introduce you to the concepts of AI and machine learning with a clear focus on how they can be used in the platform you care about.
Often, I hear developers ask, when wanting to use machine learning, “Where can I find stuff that I can reuse? I don’t want to learn to be an ML engineer just to figure out if this stuff will work for me!”
Gant answers that question in this book. You’ll discover premade models ...
