Understand the project
Practical overview
When it fits
Use Neurojs to explore its browser-based learning methods or run its documented demos; account for the repository's stated lack of maintenance when choosing a framework for new work.
Who it is for
- Developers experimenting with reinforcement-learning algorithms in JavaScript
- People building browser-based neural-network demonstrations
Documented uses
- Explore deep Q-networks and actor-critic models
- Use uniform or prioritized replay buffers in a learning experiment
- Import or export network configurations and weights in binary form
- Run documented examples, including a 2D self-driving-car simulation
Before you choose
Requirements & limits
- The project is written in JavaScript and targets browser-based machine learning.
- The repository lists an MIT license.
- The README says the project is no longer maintained and recommends TensorFlow.js as a more general framework.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Source-based practical guide
Start the example demos locally
Install the project dependencies and open Neurojs's example selector in a browser.
Before you start
- A local copy of the Neurojs repository
- Node.js and npm
Steps
Run the command below in the repository.
npm installRun the command below.
npm startOpen
http://localhost:8080/examples/in a browser and select a demo.
Expected outcome
The repository's example selector opens locally, with demos such as the self-driving-car simulation listed in the project documentation.
Guide limitations
- The repository is no longer maintained.
- The instructions describe running examples, not deploying an application.
