10 famous Javascript libraries for Machine Learning

Javascript is one of the most famous languages which is used for many purposes. It is used for frontend development and many new frameworks like Angular, React, Vue are used for making websites interactive and dynamic. It is also used for backend development with frameworks like Node, Express. It can be used for Game development and there are a lot of frameworks present for that. It can also be used to make desktop apps, Electron is one of the most famous tools for building GUI desktop apps using JS. It can be used to even launch space shuttles. SpaceX used javascript to launch its dragon spacecraft. So, we can conclude that Javascript is a very versatile language used for almost any purpose related to software development.

Machine Learning which is the most talked-about technology in the modern era uses mostly languages like Python and R for building its model, but Javascript has caught up to this trend as well and there are plenty of resources more specifically frameworks present to build Machine learning models. The most famous frameworks used for Machine Learning like TensorFlow, Keras, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Numpy, etc, all have their JS equivalents.

WebDNN

It is an open source framework in Javascript for deep learning in web browser. Deep neural network (DNN) is getting much attention to use in many applications. However, it requires a lot of computational resources, and there are many tremendous processes to setup execution environment based hardware acceleration such as GPGPU. Therefore providing DNN applications to end-users is very hard. WebDNN solves this problem by using web browser as installation-free DNN execution framework. This framework optimizes trained DNN model to compress the model data and accelerate the execution, and executes it with novel JavaScript API such as WebAssembly and WebGPU to achieve zero-overhead execution. Empirical evaluations showed that it achieved more than 200x acceleration.
