In a few of my previous posts, you’ve built a React Native app using Firebase as the backend service provider for email authentication, storing a user’s data upon successful signup.

Let’s add another common yet useful and necessary feature in our current app structure: Forgot Password. This feature will require another screen in the current React Native app. To follow this tutorial, you can work through any of the previous posts if you’re a beginner in the React Native world:

ARIMA stands for Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average. It’s a statistical library used for analyzing and forecasting time series data. Models created using ARIMA library are more flexible than other statistical models like simple linear regression. Here’s a closer look at the terms that make up this acronym:

Data visualization is the art of transforming information into a visual context, such as a map or graph. Through your journey in analyzing and preparing your data, you’ll often need to visually present your findings using some type of chart to make sense of the facts, numbers, and measurements.

After all, a picture is worth a thousand words (or in our case, a chart). However, to get the best use of a chart representation, you need to make sure you chose the perfect chart type to communicate your purpose and intentions. Choosing the perfect chart type for your goal can save you a lot of time and effort in order to better explain your data.

Our experience of the world is multimodal — we see objects, hear sounds, feel the texture, smell odors and taste flavors and then come up to a decision. Multimodal learning suggests that when a number of our senses — visual, auditory, kinesthetic — are being engaged in the processing of information, we understand and remember more. By combining these modes, learners can combine information from different sources.

In machine learning, a hyperparameter is a configuration variable that’s external to the model and whose value is not estimated from the data given.
Hyperparameters are an essential part of the process of estimating model parameters and are often defined by the practitioner.

When a machine learning algorithm is used for a specific problem, such as using a grid search or a random search algorithm, then you’re actually tuning the hyperparameters of the model to discover the values that result in the most accurate predictions.

Hand detection is a fundamental sub-task of object detection that has historically been hard to implement. But there have been many technological advancements in the field of machine learning and AI in recent years.

One of the core technologies widely used is TensorFlow, an end-to-end open-source platform for machine learning. It has a wide-ranging, flexible ecosystem of tools, libraries, and community resources. With the power of TensorFlow technology, researchers and developers can easily develop and deploy ML-powered applications.

In this tutorial, we’ll cover how to convert a model in PyTorch to the ONNX format and then load it to Caffe2. We’ll then use Caffe2’s mobile exporter to execute it on mobile.

Apple’s SwiftUI announcement during last year’s WWDC (2019) was a welcomed surprise for Apple devs. The framework embraces a more declarative and reactive approach to building user interfaces—a complete paradigm shift from interface builder and storyboards. In a way, SwiftUI brings the joys of Swift to UI-building, signaling a coming departure of Objective-C inspired systems.

SwiftUI 1.0 (unofficial versioning), though, proved to still be somewhat a prototype framework, showing signs of its infancy. There were:
