Machine Learning with Node.js

Talkat JSUnconf 2016 · 2016-04-23..04-24· [nodejs, machine-learning]

Builds a probabilistic football match predictor in Node.js using synaptic and a perceptron-style network (2 inputs, two hidden layers of six nodes, 3-way output). Trains with gradient descent and a chosen learning rate for ~100,000 iterations and logs mean squared (data) error ≈ 18% while the classification error ≈ 45% and cross‑validation error is higher, indicating overfit; adding more features barely helps and predictions can be worse than a coin toss.
