Models and Layers are important building blocks in Machine Learning.
For different Machine Learning tasks you must combine different types of Layers into a Model that can be trained with data to predict future values.
TensorFlow.js is supporting different types of Models and different types of Layers.
A TensorFlow Model is a Neural Network with one or more Layers.
A Tensorflow project has this typical workflow:
Suppose you knew a function that defined a strait line:
Y = 1.2X + 5
Then you could calculate any y value with the JavaScript formula:
y = 1.2 * x + 5;
To demonstrate Tensorflow.js, we could train a Tensorflow.js model to predict Y values based on X inputs.
The TensorFlow model does not know the function.
// Create Training Data
const xs = tf.tensor([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]);
const ys = xs.mul(1.2).add(5);
// Define a Linear Regression Model
const model = tf.sequential();
model.add(tf.layers.dense({units:1, inputShape:[1]}));
// Specify Loss and Optimizer
model.compile({loss:'meanSquaredError', optimizer:'sgd'});
// Train the Model
model.fit(xs, ys, {epochs:500}).then(() => {myFunction()});
// Use the Model
function myFunction() {
const xArr = [];
const yArr = [];
for (let x = 0; x <= 10; x++) {
xArr.push(x);
let result = model.predict(tf.tensor([Number(x)]));
result.data().then(y => {
yArr.push(Number(y));
if (x == 10) {plot(xArr, yArr)};
});
}
}
Create a tensor (xs) with 5 x values:
const xs = tf.tensor([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]);
Create a tensor (ys) with 5 correct y answers (multiply xs with 1.2 and add 5):
const ys = xs.mul(1.2).add(5);
Create a sequential mode:.
const model = tf.sequential();
In a sequential model, the output from one layer is the input to the next layer.
Add one dense layer to the model.
The layer is only one unit (tensor) and the shape is 1 (one dimentional):
model.add(tf.layers.dense({units:1, inputShape:[1]}));
in a dense the layer, every node is connected to every node in the preceding layer.
Compile the model using meanSquaredError as loss function and sgd (stochastic gradient descent) as optimizer function:
model.compile({loss:'meanSquaredError', optimizer:'sgd'});
Train the model (using xs and ys) with 500 repeats (epochs):
model.fit(xs, ys, {epochs:500}).then(() => {myFunction()});
After the model is trained, you can use it for many different purposes.
This example predicts 10 y values, given 10 x values, and calls a function to plot the predictions in a graph:
function myFunction() {
const xArr = [];
const yArr = [];
for (let x = 0; x <= 10; x++) {
let result = model.predict(tf.tensor([Number(x)]));
result.data().then(y => {
xArr.push(x);
yArr.push(Number(y));
if (x == 10) {display(xArr, yArr)};
});
}
}
This example predicts 10 y values, given 10 x values, and calls a function to display the values:
function myFunction() {
const xArr = [];
const yArr = [];
for (let x = 0; x <= 10; x++) {
let result = model.predict(tf.tensor([Number(x)]));
result.data().then(y => {
xArr.push(x);
yArr.push(Number(y));
if (x == 10) {display(xArr, yArr)};
});
}
}
