Friendly machine learning for the web!

ml5.js aims to make machine learning approachable for a broad audience of artists, creative coders, and students. The library provides access to machine learning algorithms and models in the browser, building on top of TensorFlow.js.

The library is supported by code examples, tutorials, and sample data sets with an emphasis on ethical computing. Bias in data, stereotypical harms, and responsible crowdsourcing are part of the documentation around data collection and usage.

ml5.js is heavily inspired by Processing and p5.js.

Usage

There are several ways you can use the ml5.js library:

• You can use the latest version (0.3.1) by adding it to the head section of your HTML document:

v0.3.1

<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/ml5.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

• If you need to use an earlier version for any reason, you can change the version number.

v0.3.0

<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/ml5.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

v0.3.0

<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/ml5.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

v0.2.3

<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/ml5.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

v0.1.3

<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/ml5.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

• You can also reference "latest", but we do not recommend this as your code may break as we update ml5.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/ml5@latest/dist/ml5.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
