    I made this years ago, even before playground.tensorflow.org, but I never published it because I never finished it and stuff happened... Somehow it got on Hacker News, so here it is: Backpropagation explained via scrollytelling: google-developers.appspot.com/machine-learni…

    Amazing work by my colleagues and external collaborators! BodyPix 2.0 with multi-person segmentation and increased accuracy! If you want your models to stay relevant, you have to maintain and update them, just like any other software.

    Funny how life works: 1) Made interactive ML visualizations 2) Learned it was hard to do without an in-browser library 3) Helped build such a library 4) No time to build interactive visualizations anymore :/

    The future of ML on the Web is bright! We just released our optimized WebAssembly backend which offers ~4-20x performance boost over our existing CPU backend and is competitive with WebGL for small models. We are following the WASM standard closely for adding SIMD and threading!

    We’re excited to release the Alpha of our WebAssembly backend for TensorFlow.js! 🎉 WASM has wider device support and better numerical stability while getting competitive with WebGL for smaller models. Share your feedback here → goo.gle/2PGiNBq

    Excited to share that we now have distilled BERT running in the browser with TensorFlow.js! This brings a lot of exciting applications, such as a privacy-preserving "smart search". This is just the beginning of what I expect to be a large wave of NLP on the Web in 2020!

    Really excited about this model, which runs in real-time on Pixel and iPhone on our WebGL and WASM backends! Really nice work @GreenBeanDou and @wakoan!

    Looking back, I can’t believe it’s been more than a year since we forked TensorFlow Playground, the first commit of what became TensorFlow.js. Watch our talk on the TensorFlow YouTube channel! And check out js.tensorflow.org

    I'm very excited for these models to be open-sourced and available to the JS community! Thank you MediaPipe for the wonderful collaboration and @GreenBeanDou, @wakoan, Matthias, @realmgyong and many others that helped!

    Our first public launch since joining @databricks! Organizations struggle with creating high-quality evaluation datasets. Getting time with Subject Matter Experts to make diverse questions is hard. This is why we’re excited to introduce Synthetic Data Generation API!

    I often see SBERT as the choice for on-device text embeddings, but there are other, often better and faster embeddings out there. At @lilac_ai, we've been pleasantly surprised by GTE across various tasks ⬇️
