Another project to have gained the support of the Ocean community with their project proposal from Round 13 of @OceanDAO_ is @itrmachines.

ITRMachines is developing a wrapper library that will allow a direct integration between the Ocean marketplace and the tensorflow.js library for artificial intelligence.


The library will allow AI developers to quickly access datasets from the Ocean marketplace and integrate them using Tensorflow to implement their custom AI models in a seamless way.

Their grant deliverables navigate around the development of a wrapper library that will integrate the current functionalities of the Ocean.js library among others.
