Js-pytorch: Opening up a new world of front-end + AI

Hello everyone, my name is Xu Xiaoxi. Recently I discovered a very interesting framework on Github - js-pytorch. It allows the front-end to easily use JavaScript to run deep learning frameworks. As a senior front-end technology player, I would like to share this framework with you today.

In the current field of artificial intelligence, deep learning technology has become a technology that has attracted much attention. PyTorch is one of the deep learning frameworks that has attracted much attention. This framework has an important development rate in the field of deep learning. js-pytorch leverages JavaScript technology to introduce the power of PyTorch, enabling it to be used and developed in the JavaScript world.

The combination project of JavaScript and PyTorch can convert the PyTorch model into JavaScript format and run it in the browser. This means you can run PyTorch models directly on the web, without server-side support. This is very useful in many scenarios, such as deep learning model inference on the client side. Currently, the project is very mature and has a wide user base.

If you have any questions or have a better deep learning framework based on javascript, you are also welcome to leave a comment District Share.

Usage scenarios

js-pytorch provides convenience for real-time inference and model deployment on web pages. The following are some usage scenarios I summarized:

Image recognition technology in web pages: We can use pre-trained image classification models to allow users to upload images and obtain prediction results in real time in the browser. This enables users to easily perform image recognition without additional data or model training.

Natural language processing: Integrate language models into web pages to achieve real-time text generation, question and answer systems, etc.

Online prediction and recommendation system: Make real-time personalized recommendations based on user behavior and data.

Features

• Cross-platform support: js-pytorch can run on both desktop browsers and mobile devices.
• Model Compression and Optimization: It supports converting trained PyTorch models into compact JavaScript code and optimizing it to improve performance.
• Easy to use: js-pytorch provides a concise API and examples, allowing developers to easily integrate PyTorch models into JavaScript projects.

Application Cases

The following are some application cases using js-pytorch:

1. Style Transfer in the Browser

This project shows how to perform style migration in real time in the browser.

2. Real-time Object Detection with YOLO v5:

It demonstrates the use of YOLO v5 for real-time object detection in the browser.

Basic usage

According to the document tutorial, the steps to install and use js-pytorch in a JavaScript project are as follows:

Installation: Yes Use the npm command line tool to install js-pytorch and execute the following command:

npm install js-pytorch

Usage: After the installation is complete, you can introduce the js-pytorch library into the JavaScript code. and use the functions and classes within it. Here is a simple example:

const { torch } = require("js-pytorch");// 创建一个随机张量let x = torch.randn([8, 4, 5]);// 创建一个全连接层let fc = new torch.nn.Linear(5, 4);// 前向传播let y = fc.forward(x);console.log(y);

In this example, we first introduced the js-pytorch library and used torch to create a random tensor x and a fully connected layer fc. We then use the forward method of fc to perform forward propagation and store the result in y . Finally, we print out the value of y.

Please note that the js-pytorch library needs to be used with the Node.js environment. If you haven’t installed Node.js yet, you can download and install it from the official website of Node.js.

torch.randn([8, 4, 5]) is a function call used to generate random tensors in the PyTorch deep learning framework. Its specific explanation is as follows:

1. torch: This is the name of the PyTorch library for deep learning and tensor calculations.
2. randn(): This is a function in PyTorch that generates random numbers following a normal distribution (mean 0, standard deviation 1).
3. [8, 4, 5]: This is a shape representation of a tensor that specifies the dimensions of the generated random tensor.

• The first dimension is 8, which means the tensor has 8 elements in the first dimension.
• The second dimension is 4, which means the tensor has 4 elements in the second dimension.
• The third dimension is 5, which means the tensor has 5 elements in the third dimension.

To sum up, torch.randn([8, 4, 5]) will generate a random tensor with shape [8, 4, 5], where each element obeys the positive Distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. This random tensor can be used for operations such as initialization of deep learning models and random weight generation. Each call to this function will result in a new random tensor.

Summary

Through js-pytorch, we can bring the power of deep learning to users’ fingertips and provide users with A smarter, more interactive experience.

If you are interested in deep learning and front-end development, I strongly recommend exploring the js-pytorch project. It opens a new door for developers to build smarter and more powerful applications on the web.
