While flashy deep learning research grabs headlines, what happens to models after they are trained is equally important. To build a great product, you need to plan for the entire lifecycle of machine learning models, from data collection and training to deployment and monitoring.

This becomes even more critical when deploying ML models outside of the cloud, directly in mobile apps where you face the unique challenges of supporting multiple platforms, hundreds of chipsets, and billions of installs.

Machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, artificial intelligence. You can’t work a day in tech without coming across one of these buzzwords.

For a developer just looking to get started, it’s hard to wade through the jargon and ever-changing tools. This post is the first in a broader series we’re working on at Heartbeat on to help people get up to speed or stay current.

For developers, the ability to run pre-trained models on mobile signifies an important shift towards edge computing. By being able to perform data processing straight from the user’s phone, private data remains in their hands, apps run more smoothly without having to wait for cellular networks, and your company’s cloud bill is significantly reduced.

Fast, responsive apps can now run complex machine learning models. This technological shift will usher in a new wave of app development by empowering product owners and engineers to think outside the box.

In this tutorial, we’ll build a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) in PyTorch that will classify people’s names by their languages. We assume that the reader has a basic understanding of PyTorch and machine learning in Python.

Lens Studio can gives one the ability to create some truly amazing augmented reality effects for Snapchat. I’ve found the performance and speed with which these lenses display to be very smooth, and this is due in part to the strict requirements that Snapchat has for the quality of submitted lenses.

However, this performance comes with a price. One of the most challenging things any lens creator faces is fitting everything into the 4mb of space that is allowed.

This is the second part in a two-part series. I suggest you read the first part first. Interact with the app via the App link

The goal of the second part of this tutorial series is to deploy the machine learning wine quality prediction web application built in part 1—this time in the cloud.
