Comparing MobileNet Models in TensorFlow

Articles

In recent years, neural networks and deep learning have sparked tremendous progress in the field of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision.

While many of the face, object, landmark, logo, and text recognition and detection technologies are provided for Internet-connected devices, we believe that the ever-increasing computational power of mobile devices can enable the delivery of these technologies into the hands of users anytime, anywhere, regardless of Internet connection.

Hands-on with Feature Engineering Techniques: Feature Scaling

Articles

This post is a part of a series about feature engineering techniques for machine learning with Python.

Hey again! In this post, we’re going to explore feature scaling transformations for feature engineering.

Let’s start with feature magnitude. Frequently, our dataset contains features that highly vary in scales, and that’s a problem for some algorithms that rely on distance.

Object Detection with Flutter and TensorFlow Lite

Articles

In the previous article of this series on developing Flutter applications with TensorFlow Lite, we looked at how we can develop digit recognizer with Flutter and TensorFlow Lite and image classification with Flutter and TensorFlow Lite.

In the third article of this series, we’ll keep working with TensorFlow Lite, this time focusing on implementing object detection. The application we are going to build will be able to recognize objects presented in an image.

Sound Classification on iOS Using Core ML 3 and Create ML

Articles

During WWDC 2019, Create ML got its own independent identity. It’s like an origin story of some sort, giving way to a whole new range of capabilities. Create ML is now a separate application that’s shipped with Xcode 11.

Apple once again, through Create ML, showcases how serious they are about machine learning on mobile. Their recent advancements with the Create ML framework are a big boon for mobile machine learning developers, given that these improvements allow them to easily create their own models without much machine learning expertise.

Detecting Pneumonia in an iOS App with Create ML

Articles Machine Learning

Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting the alveoli. Typically, symptoms include some combination of productive or dry cough, chest pain, fever, and trouble breathing. According to UNICEF pneumonia remains the leading infectious cause of death among children under five, killing approximately 2,400 children a day.

Early diagnosis of this treatable condition is very important, as it could facilitate earlier treatment and hopefully result in improved clinical outcomes. There are several tests used to confirm diagnoses, including analysis of chest X-ray images.
