Depth sensing is a classic problem with a long history of prior work. It’s at the heart of many tasks, from 3D reconstruction to localization and tracking. Its applications span otherwise disparate research and product areas, including indoor mapping and architecture, autonomous cars, and human body and face tracking.

The world is currently generating 2.5 quintillions of data each day, according to Forbes. The power of deriving meaning from these loads of data relies on the use of specialized machine learning algorithms that have been developed over time. We can teach machines to learn—or they can learn on their own.

A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a multilayered neural network with a special architecture to detect complex features in data. CNNs have been used in image recognition, powering vision in robots, and for self-driving vehicles.
In this article, we’re going to build a CNN capable of classifying images. An image classifier CNN can be used in myriad ways, to classify cats and dogs, for example, or to detect if pictures of the brain contain a tumor. This post will be at an introductory-level, and no domain expertise is required. However, we assume that the reader has a basic understanding of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN).

AWS Amplify is a fantastic framework that helps you develop your web or mobile applications quickly. Not only does it enhances your current tech stack, but it actually has many built-in features that you don’t have to worry about, especially when your app is in the development process.
Features include:
Beyond these features, Amplify can be integrated with most popular frontend frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, Ionic, React Native, or plain old vanilla JavaScript, if you’d like.

Mobile devices are limited in their resources compared to PCs. Some calculations can be executed on such limited-resources devices. For example, doing some calculations on an image or a couple of images. As the number of images increases, however, the device may run out of RAM.
If a deep neural network, for example, is to be trained on a large dataset with thousands of images, mobile devices are not a great option for training; rather, we need to us a machine with much more resources.

In this post, we’re going to dive deep into one of the easiest and most interpretable supervised learning algorithm — decision trees. Decision tree algorithms can be used for both classification and regression. We’ll be discussing how the algorithm works, it’s induction, parameters that define it’s structure, and it’s advantages and limitations.

In this post, we’re going to dive deep into one of the most influential unsupervised learning algorithms—k-means clustering. K-means clustering is one of the simplest and most popular unsupervised machine learning algorithms, and we’ll be discussing how the algorithm works, distance and accuracy metrics, and a lot more.
Unsupervised learning is a type of self-organized learning that aids us in discovering patterns in our data related to various features. It is one of the three main categories of machine learning, along with supervised and reinforcement learning.

When you think about a Xamarin (or any cross-platform) application, performance is the most important consideration. Optimizing performance in a native app is a bit easier than with a cross-platform application, as there are hundreds of blogs and books and other resources to help you along the way. But there are less of these resources when it comes to apps developed with cross-platforms like Xamarin.
