Math might be scary, but it’s an essential part of everyday life. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could build an app, point our phone’s camera at an expression, and let the app compute the result? Whenever I’ve needed to use math, I’ve wished this was possible. Now, with advances in machine learning and vision recognition in iOS, this is doable.

In part 3 of our tutorial series on building a chat app in React Native, we integrated Firestore the current React Native app, creating a database that stores chat room names. A new chat room can be created using a modal stack, but only if a given user is authenticated.
Machine learning has expanded computers’ ability to understand images and extract different information from visual data. In this article, different computer vision tasks will be presented alongside explanations for how each has been tackled using machine learning.
A lot of machine learning research has been done in the field of computer vision throughout the last 3 decades. Different topics, tasks, and problems have been studied thoroughly; however, we’ll focus on the core problems of computer vision, and we’ll briefly present some of the more advanced hot topics in computer vision towards the end.

If you follow my writing (here or here), then you know I’ve been working on a new Android app called AfterShoot — it’s an AI-powered Android app that helps users take better pictures while also managing their digital waste.
One of the important features that I had to implement in this app was the ability to handle feedback provided by users — meaning, if my trained model predicted an incorrect result, I should be able to take that feedback from the user about what the correct output should be and use that to retrain my model for better results.

As the AI boom progresses, there is a definite transition, moving intelligent processes to end devices from their original home in the cloud and big data centers with tremendous compute power.
Organizations all across the globe are recognizing the need for machine learning practices on mobile devices like smartphones and the ability to perform powerful AI-enabled tasks natively on gadgets, machines, vehicles, and more. Qualcomm is one such tech giant trying to shape the edge AI sector with its new line of ML offerings.
Google’s sign-in provider is a convenient way to allow users to register and log in in a React Native app. It can provide a familiar onboarding experience to the user and can act as a single source of authentication. Using this, you don’t have to take care of functionalities such as email verification, forgot password, resetting passwords, and so on.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field at the intersection of computer science, artificial intelligence, and linguistics. The goal is for computers to process or “understand” natural language in order to perform tasks like Language Translation and Question Answering.
With the rise of voice interfaces and chatbots, NLP is one of the most important technologies of the information age a crucial part of artificial intelligence. Fully understanding and representing the meaning of language is an extremely difficult goal. Why? Because human language is quite special.

With recent developments in deep learning, neural networks are getting larger and larger. For example, in the ImageNet recognition challenge, the winning model, from 2012 to 2015, increased in size by 16 times. And in just one year, for Baidu’s Deep Speech model, the number of training operations increased by 10 times.

This will be a practical, end-to-end guide on how to build a mobile application using TensorFlow Lite that classifies images from a dataset for your projects.
This application uses live camera and classifies objects instantly. The TFLite application will be smaller, faster, and more accurate than an application made using TensorFlow Mobile, because TFLite is made specifically to run neural nets on mobile platforms.
