Hands-on Machine Learning with JavaScript: Solve complex computational web problems using machine learning

A definitive guide to creating an intelligent web application with the best of machine learning and JavaScript

Key Features

• Solve complex computational problems in browser with JavaScript
• Teach your browser how to learn from rules using the power of machine learning
• Understand discoveries on web interface and API in machine learning

Book Description

In over 20 years of existence, JavaScript has been pushing beyond the boundaries of web evolution with proven existence on servers, embedded devices, Smart TVs, IoT, Smart Cars, and more. Today, with the added advantage of machine learning research and support for JS libraries, JavaScript makes your browsers smarter than ever with the ability to learn patterns and reproduce them to become a part of innovative products and applications.

Hands-on Machine Learning with JavaScript presents various avenues of machine learning in a practical and objective way, and helps implement them using the JavaScript language. Predicting behaviors, analyzing feelings, grouping data, and building neural models are some of the skills you will build from this book. You will learn how to train your machine learning models and work with different kinds of data. During this journey, you will come across use cases such as face detection, spam filtering, recommendation systems, character recognition, and more. Moreover, you will learn how to work with deep neural networks and guide your applications to gain insights from data.

By the end of this book, you'll have gained hands-on knowledge on evaluating and implementing the right model, along with choosing from different JS libraries, such as NaturalNode, brain, harthur, classifier, and many more to design smarter applications.

What you will learn

• Get an overview of state-of-the-art machine learning
• Understand the pre-processing of data handling, cleaning, and preparation
• Learn Mining and Pattern Extraction with JavaScript
