In the last piece in this series on developing with Flutter, we looked at how we can implement face detection using ML Kit, which belongs to the Firebase family.
In this 8th installment of the series, we’ll keep working with ML Kit, this time focusing on scanning barcodes from an image.

PyTorch, Facebook’s core machine and deep learning framework, has been steadily gaining momentum and popurity in recent months, especially in the ML/DL research community.
But until recently (last week, in fact), there was a substantial piece of the puzzle missing—an end-to-end solution for deploying PyTorch models to mobile.

As a React Native developer, you’re going to come across use cases that will require you to embed or redirect a web application or a web page inside a React Native app. WebViews are often used for such use cases.

At last year’s iPhone event, Apple announced that, starting with iOS 12 and the new A12 Bionic processor, Core ML models could now take advantage of the Apple Neural Engine (ANE). The ANE is a special co-processor capable of accelerating machine learning models to run up to 9X faster using just a tenth of the energy. While we’ve been able to verify these speedups in certain cases, we noticed they weren’t universal. Some models didn’t seem to be benefitting from the new hardware.

Training Data (generates)=> Patterns
Input => Patterns => Prediction
The first artificial neural network was designed in 1958. Why now—when artificial intelligence, the parent technology to machine learning, has been around for more than 50 years—is there a surge of ML applications?

“So unexpected was the hole that for several years computers analyzing ozone data had systematically thrown out the readings that should have pointed to its growth.” — New Scientist 31st March 1988
According to Wikipedia, an outlier is an observation point that is distant from other observations. This definition is vague because it doesn’t quantify the word “distant”. In this blog, we’ll try to understand the different interpretations of this “distant” notion. We will also look into the outlier detection and treatment techniques while seeing their impact on different types of machine learning models.

Deep learning has taken the world by a storm in recent years. From self-driving cars to predictive advertising, it has inevitably become a major part of our day-to-day lives.
Geoffrey Hinton, the person credited to bringing deep learning back into the mainstream and largely responsible for what it is today, released an entirely new type of neural network known as the Capsule Network (or CapsNet). As the name suggests, it uses capsules rather than artificial neurons for its activities.
In this piece, we’ll build a deep learning model to classify objects in an image. To build the convolutional neural network, we’ll use this dataset available at Kaggle. A CNN is a type of neural network primarily used in visual tasks. The network will detect the features of an animal, and then use those features to classify a given input image as either a cat or a dog.

In this post, we’re going to unravel the mathematics behind a very famous, robust, and versatile machine learning algorithm: support vector machines. We’ll also gain insight on relevant terms like kernel tricks, support vectors, cost functions for SVM, etc.
A support vector machine (SVM) is a supervised machine learning algorithm that can be used for both classification and regression tasks. In SVM, we plot data points as points in an n-dimensional space (n being the number of features you have) with the value of each feature being the value of a particular coordinate.

Tyleeseeuh seems to have endless lenses. And endless creativity. I went from a sunflower field to a virtual beach vacation before I’d finished my coffee (while wearing a crown of dinosaurs, of course). The creator said she uses lenses as her art form — from makeup looks not possible in reality to neon filters that mimic a sunset. She’s spent the past two years creating all sorts of lenses and filters and I managed to get a firsthand account of her journey.
