• Abstract (2-3 lines) This will be a session on tensorflow.js , as it is getting pretty popular as a web framework for machine learning tools and thus serve models on the web .

• Brief Description and Contents to be covered This will be an intro to tf.js and the various layered APIs that come along with it for leveraging the power of machine learning in the web . It will give an insight to how tf.js works and ends with an intro to ML5.JS which is another API for machine learning. Contents : :what is tensorflow.js :how to use tensorflow.js :Tensorflow graph visualisation :ML5.JS : the next layer API.

• Pre-requisites for the talk Familiarity with neural networks and JavaScript

• Time required for the talk 20 to 30 minutes

• Link to slides https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-1q1v87KYB4lfkLjT1mPjj2wotcKecXhYyJ2n32-1fg/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you @nileshpatra for proposing the talk. The topic is pretty interesting and I am looking forward to the slides :)

[nileshpatra]

Sure , I'll add them by tomorrow for sure .

Hey @nileshpatra The slides are good! just 2 suggestions - some of the slides have typos (eg slide 8 "us" vs "use"). Since many people are familiar with tensorflow python api, it would be useful to have a slide comparing tf.js and tf python in terms of api or even just what functionalities are supported.

Best of luck for your talk.

@shagunsodhani thanks for the suggestions , I'll definitely incorporate the changes . Also wanted to know , when is this talk scheduled?

[nileshpatra]

@shagunsodhani , @MSanKeys963 , I have updated the slides according to the suggestions . Could you set this talk up in the next meet?

[MSanKeys963]

I'll let you know once we announce the meetup.

@MSanKeys963 , as I can see that the accepted label is added , could you please confirm if I am in for the next talk? I know it's a bit early to ask , but I actually need to book a couple of tickets accordingly.
