ml5-library VS Pytorch

Important APIs - ml5 for in-browser detection, face-api that uses tensorflow-node to accelerate on-server detection. VueUse for a bunch of useful component tools like the QR Code generator. Yahoo's Gifshot for creating gif files in-browser etc.

> Have we seen any creator of a deep learning library, take a similar position if not stopping any support for anyone using it for mass surveillance?

ml5.js license:

> This license gives everyone as much permission to work with this software as possible as long as they comply with the ml5.js Code of Conduct [...]

ml5.js code of conduct:

> Do not: [...] Use ml5.js to build tools of mass surveillance and prediction to repress the rights of people

Not sure how enforcable this is but it exists.

"The library provides access to machine learning algorithms and models in the browser, building on top of TensorFlow.js with no other external dependencies."

(5) ml5.js

ML.js

I used ml5js.org , p5js.org and https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com to train the Banana images. When you create a new image project on Teachable Machine, you can output the p5js and basically use it right out of the box - I customized js, css, and html from there.

Going forward: I'll be 100% into JavaScript. You can use JavaScript in so many fields nowadays. Websites React, Mobile Apps React Native, Machine Learning TensorFlow & ML5, Desktop Applications Electron, and of course the backend Node as well. It's kind of a no-brainer. Of course, they all have specific languages that are better, but for now, JavaScript is a bit of a catch-all.

Yeah they made ml5.js for this reason: https://ml5js.org/

I do feel like Google could do better communicating all of their different tools though. Their ecosystem is large and pretty confusing - they've got so many projects going on at once that it always seems like everyone gets fed up with them before they take a second pass and make them more friendly to newcomers.

Facebook seems to have taken a much more focused approach as you can see with PyTorch Live

From other comments, a lot of JavaScript developers who want to use TensorFlow had never heard of TensorFlow.js or ml5.js!

PyTorch (https://pytorch.org/)

torch is a package to manage tensors and dynamic neural networks in python (GitHub)

PyTorch also has some support for them, but it's quite incomplete and has many issues so that it is basically unusable. And its future development is also unclear. https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/60832

TensorFlow

TensorFlow, developed by Google, and PyTorch, developed by Facebook, are two of the most popular frameworks for building and training complex machine learning models. TensorFlow is known for its flexibility and robust scalability, making it suitable for both research prototypes and production deployments. PyTorch is praised for its ease of use, simplicity, and dynamic computational graph that allows for more intuitive coding of complex AI models. Both frameworks support a wide range of AI models, from simple linear regression to complex deep neural networks.

> does PyTorch have a similar concept

of course https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/torch/utils/_py...

fyi should work on most 40xx[1]

Sure, right here: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/torch/autograd/...

Here's the documentation: https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/forward_ad_usage....

> When an input, which we call “primal”, is associated with a “direction” tensor, which we call “tangent”, the resultant new tensor object is called a “dual tensor” for its connection to dual numbers[0].
