Web Neural Network API
W3C,
Apr 17, 2023
The W3C is looking for implementations of the Web Neural Network API. "The Web Neural Network API defines a web-friendly hardware-agnostic abstraction layer that makes use of Machine Learning capabilities of operating systems and underlying hardware platforms without being tied to platform-specific capabilities." Sample application areas include person detection, semantic segmentation, style transfer, super resolution, captioning, summarization, and much more. The idea is that the AI would be built in to our devices, and then accessed by applications and services. The concept has been around since 2017 and published as a W3C working draft in 2021 (more) but obviously obtains a new level of importance today.
