WebML: State of Machine Learning for Frontend Developers

About this presentation

With the release of tools like ChatGPT, the excitement around AI has skyrocketed. Machine Learning is increasingly becoming a vital tool in all domains including frontend application development. However, a front-end developer might feel intimidated by the thought of having to learn complex machine-learning algorithms and new languages. But don’t worry, this talk aims to cover how the availability of Machine Learning libraries for frontend developers makes it easy to integrate Machine Learning capabilities without any prior experience. Let's explore some of the state-of-the-art Machine Learning libraries and tools available for frontend developers such as TensorFlowJS, Onnxjs, WebAI, and WebNN. These allow for Machine Learning inference directly on the client side: i.e. on the browser, meaning you are able to run neural networks directly in the browser. Exciting times. Shivay will also cover how frontend developers can use APIs from OpenAI, Replicate, and serverless functions to get additional Machine Learning capabilities for their applications. This talk is ideal for all frontend developers who wish to bring their next startup idea to life, or for those looking to use AI to create a competitive differentiator.
