Spreading the use of machine learning tools is one of the goals of Google's PAIR (People AI Research) initiative, which was introduced in early July. Last week the cloud giant released deeplearn.js Writing on the Google Research blog last Friday, software engineers Nikhil Thorat and Daniel Smilkov noted, "There are many reasons to bring machine learning into the browser. A client-side ML library can be a platform for interactive explanations, for rapid prototyping and visualization, and even for offline computation. And if nothing else, the browser is one of the world's most popular programming platforms."
