The mission of the Web Machine Learning Community Group (WebML CG) is to make Machine Learning a first-class web citizen by incubating and developing a dedicated low-level Web API for machine learning inference in the browser. Please see the charter for more information.
The group invites browser engine developers, hardware vendors, web application developers, and the broader web community with interest in Machine Learning to participate.

Note: Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
š± ThisĀ W3C Community GroupĀ started incubating work in 2018 for a possible Web Neural Network API, in response to encouraging feedback from aĀ TPAC breakout session. Starting October 2018, this Community Group identified key use cases working with diverse participants including major browser vendors, key ML JS frameworks, interested hardware vendors, web developers, and started drafting the Web Neural Network API specification.
š Following the two-year incubation period in this Community Group, the W3C has launched the Web Machine Learning Working Group to standardize the Web Neural Network API, now graduating from its incubation stage. This Community Group continues its incubation function for new machine learning capabilities working in parallel with the newly formed Working Group, similarly to e.g. W3Cās WebAssembly and WebGPU efforts.
š Huge thanks to all the W3C Community Group and W3C workshop participants for their contributions that have helped shape this work, and W3C for providing a venue to advance this cross-industry effort toward wide adoption.
