When we think automation, we think digitization. But ironically, the digitization of text is not enough to automate the tasks we care about. It might seem simple to extract information from web pages, PDF forms, emails, and word documents, because they can be easily read by a computer. However, the unstructured nature of most text documents effectively locks their information away from straightforward automatic processing.
Have you ever felt like your doctor was too busy entering notes into their computer to give you their full attention? Wondered why a specialist you’ve waited months to see asks you the exact same questions your family doctor asked, despite the existing documentation? Spent painful hours or even weeks waiting for test results and wondered what takes so long?
In 2019 we are beginning to see trends such as Browser-Based Artificial Intelligence with TensorFlow.js taking over the landscape. This is part of a larger movement that will continue as AI solutions become less dependent on the backend-heavy distributed cloud-based infrastructure which was originally developed for big data applications.
Are you a web developer interested in Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Want to easily build some sweet AI apps entirely in JavaScript that run anywhere, without the headache of tedious installs, hosting on cloud services, or working with Python? Then TensorFlow.js is for you!
