Javascript Machine Learning

This repository maintains a reading list of Machine Learning technologies, algorithms and API's focused on javascript.

Why Javascript?

• Can run on any web client, the end user doesn't have to install anything.
• Easy integration with device sensors such as camera, microphone, gyroscope, light sensor, etc.
• End user does not have to send privacy-sensitive data to a server.
• Easy integration with user interface and interactive elements.
• Easy install process for developer, less sensitive to computer setup issues, python setup issues, version conflicts.
• Convert your AI code to a web server with one line of code.
• Can still use models trained in Python.
• Training uses the same underlying C / GPU capabilities of your computer.

Python is used in the science community, so there are much more python libraries for math and computer science subjects available. Most AI tutorials will use python.
