Friendly machine learning for the web!

Read our ml5.js Code of Conduct and software licence here!

This project is currently in development.

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.

Please read our Code of Conduct, which establishes our commitment to make ml5.js a friendly and welcoming environment.

Usage

Before getting started with ml5.js, review our Code of Conduct. There are several ways you can use the ml5.js library:

• You can use the latest version (1.2.0) by adding it to the head section of your HTML document:

  v1.2.0

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

• If you need to use an earlier version for any reason, you can change the version number. The previous versions of ml5.js can be found here. You can use those previous versions by replacing <version> with the ml5 version of interest:

  <script src="https://unpkg.com/ml5@<version>/dist/ml5.min.js"></script>

  For example:

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

  Note: To access the source code of version 0.12.2 or earlier, please visit the archived repository.

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

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