Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are frequently preferred in computer vision applications because of their successful results on object recognition and classification tasks. CNNs are composed of many neurons stacked together. Computing convolutions across neurons require a lot of computation, so pooling processes are often used to reduce the size of network layers.

Lately, machines have been proving themselves as good as or even superior to people with certain tasks: they are already better in Go, Chess, and even Dota 2. Algorithms compose music and write poetry. Scientists and entrepreneurs estimate that artificial intelligence will greatly surpass human beings in the future.

In our last tutorial, we used Firebase to store and keep track of the tasks we needed to complete. But that approach wasn’t customized to a specific user, i.e. they all got the same list of tasks. One way of personalizing these tasks for different users is to include user authentication. And that’s exactly what we’ll be doing in this post.
In today’s digitally transforming world, human beings are encountering more advanced technology on a daily basis. Image recognition software and solutions are becoming a common part of our landscape. The chances are you’ve already interacted with this technology, even if you didn’t realize it.
From the facial recognition software that unlocks smartphones, to mobile check depositing systems on banking apps, image recognition is everywhere.
A function that increases or decreases rapidly at first, but then steadily slows as time moves, can be called a logarithmic function.
For example, we can say that the number of cases of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic follows a logarithmic pattern, as the number of cases increased very fast in the beginning and are now slowing a bit.

Swift Packages are one of the most exciting applications of the Swift programming language. Packages allow for development beyond your usual app — it even works on Linux!
It’s well-known that projects without documentation don’t get the attention they deserve. And rightfully so, because it’s very hard for new “users” (developers who consume your package) to get started with your project if documentation is lacking. However, writing and maintaining documentation is often seen as a boring task. Besides, your documentation will quickly be outdated if you don’t update it.

In deep learning, one of the most widely-used technologies is TensorFlow, an end-to-end open-source platform for building models. It has a vast, flexible ecosystem of tools, libraries, and community resources. With the power of TensorFlow, researchers and developers can develop and deploy ML-powered applications.
In this tutorial, we’re going to work with TensorFlow.js, TensorFlow’s JavaScript library. We’ll use this library to learn to perform object detection—and specifically, detect instances of people—using our device’s webcam. The idea is fairly simple. We launch the camera in observation mode. Then, when it detects a human, it starts to record the movement of the person until the person is no longer in the view of the camera.

For this tutorial, you need a basic knowledge of React Native and some familiarity with Expo. You’ll also need the Expo client installed on your mobile device or a compatible simulator installed on your computer Instructions on how to do this can be found here.

We’ve seen a bunch of great use cases for on-device ML, but sometimes it’s easy for us to get a bit lost in the weeds. For many mobile developers, the idea of machine learning can sound scary—math, a steep learning curve, and questions about the need for machine learning features in the first place.
Mobile apps are made of screens that can vary in number depending on the app you’re developing. Handling user navigation can be tricky to learn and implement in mobile apps, but with dedicated open source libraries like react-navigation, the process becomes a lot easier.
React Navigation is a common library among React Native developers. It’s built with JavaScript, and you can create React components and apply any navigation pattern. On the device, it’ll provide a natural look and feel.
