In this article, we’re going to introduce self-organizing maps. We assume the reader has prior experience with neural networks.
Self-organizing maps are a class of unsupervised learning neural networks used for feature detection. They’re used to produce a low-dimension space of training samples. Therefore, they’re used for dimensionality reduction.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) can have tens of thousands of parameters, and in some cases, maybe even millions. This huge number of parameters gives the network a huge amount of freedom and the flexibility to fit a high degree of complexity.
This flexibility is only good up to a certain level. When this level is crossed, the term overfitting is brought to the table.

MessagingCenter is one of the most important APIs that you should be aware of while working with Xamarin.Forms and MVVM. MessagingCenter includes a simple messaging service to send and receive messages.
Please refer to this amazing document by Microsoft, which will run you through some basics, some of which I’ve included in this post in detail:
One week into my first year physics course at the University of Michigan, a professor assigned a problem set that required simulating some many-body system. It was due Friday. That was the week I learned my first programming language, Matlab.
This is how I’ve picked up bits and pieces of a dozen or so languages over the past decade. Besides an introductory CS class taught with C++ and a Java-based database class in graduate school, I never had any formal training in software engineering. For me, coding was a way to finish my homework, analyze data to answer a question, or turn an idea in my head into something real.

In this article, we’ll train a model that is able to label cat and dog images. The images used for this project can be found here and here. Of course, you don’t have to use cats and dogs; the process is the same irrespective of your images. Before we get too far into this, you’ll first need to create an account at Fritz AI.
Geolocation as an API has different methods that can be used in a web application. But it’s also a powerful API for mobile development. Ride share mobile apps like Uber, map app like Google Maps, and location features implemented in apps like Instagram depend on using this API. React Native takes advantage of this API and its available methods by extending the Geolocation Web specification.

In this article, we’ll build a simple neural network using Keras. We’ll assume you have prior knowledge of machine learning packages such as scikit-learn and other scientific packages such as Pandas and Numpy.
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.
