Comparing TensorFlow.js and TensorFlow in Python: An Accessibility and Usage Analysis

TensorFlow, a popular machine learning library released by Google, has gained significant traction among developers in creating ML models. It provides support for both Python and JavaScript, with TensorFlow.js, the JavaScript version. This paper presents a comparative analysis of these frameworks, focusing on accessibility factors like ease of learning, available content and tutorials, minimum required knowledge, and hardware requirements. The study highlights that TensorFlow for Python offers a comprehensive suite of tools and abundant resources, making it a robust choice for experienced developers. Tensorflow.js, on the other hand, stands out for its beginner-friendly characteristics. The research findings show that Tensorflow.js is very easy to deploy on the web and is capable of handling graphic intensive models (like face recognition using camera) on entry-level computers as well. This study looks at the advantages and disadvantages of TensorFlow in Python and TensorFlow.js in order to help new programmers choose the best tool for their machine learning projects.
