What a year for natural language processing! We’ve seen great improvement in terms of accuracy and learning speed, and more importantly, large networks are now more accessible thanks to Hugging Face and their wonderful Transformers library, which provides a high-level API to work with BERT, GPT, and many more language model variants.

Someone once told me than any time you answer a question more than once, you should just blog about it. To anyone just starting out in data science, here’s how I began my journey: like everyone else, I Googled it.
If you do, you’ll be presented with millions of resources, and I guarantee you won’t know where to start. The amount of available information is overwhelming.

If you’ve tried deploying your trained deep learning models on Android, you must have heard about TensorFlow Lite, the lite version of TensorFlow built for mobile deployment.
As a quick overview, it supports most of the basic operators; in simple terms, you can use it to do classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, and most of the text synthesis operations.

In this article, let’s look at how you can use TensorFlow Model Maker to create a custom text classification model. Currently, the TF Lite model maker supports image classification, question answering, and text classification models. It uses transfer learning for shortening the amount of time required to build TF Lite models.

Computer vision continues to be one of the fastest-growing fields in machine learning. Both web and mobile developers are harnessing the power of cameras as sensors and the hardware behind them to create unique and impactful user experiences.
Materials can seem intimidating to get the hang of — so many interconnected nodes, math operations, and procedural textures. I know it seemed like magic to me when I first started, but beneath this complexity are some very simple principles, and understanding these will enable you to create your own relatively complex materials in a short space of time.

I’ve been working on a personal project recently, in which I need to know the main topic of a user’s generated text. So I made a tag system, which means that the user can tag his post based on the topic.
I thought that this would suffice to classify the posts based on topics, but I was wrong.

This blog is the sixth blog in the series and a follow-up to my previous blog post on running TensorFlow Lite image classification models in Python. If you haven’t read that post, you can read it here:
This blog post assumes that you already have a trained TFLite model on hand. If you don’t or need to build one, you can take a look at the blog post that I have written here:

Following up from my earlier blogs on training and using TensorFlow models on the edge in Python, in this seventh blog in the series; I wanted to cover a topic that’s generally not talked about enough—optimizing the performance and latency of your TensorFlow models.

In my previous blog on using Room with Android, I outlined how one can use Room to effectively store app data after a user has exited your app for a better user experience. If you haven’t read this blog, you can read it here:
But what about cases where your app is running and its state is changed—for example, when the phone’s orientation is changed from portrait to landscape and vice versa?
