Artificial intelligence (AI) is a buzzword you see pretty much everywhere around you, even when you’re not looking. It has completely dominated tech media, newsrooms, and is even credited with the success of many modern applications.

But does it really work, or is it just hype? Truth is, it does. While there might be some hype around its capabilities, AI has been demonstrated both in research and industry to work really well for a variety of tasks and use cases.

In this tutorial, I’ll walk through how to start building an Augmented Reality Android application using Google’s new Sceneform SDK. First off, I’ll cover some quick concepts and then jump into project setup and some code. If you just want to dive in straight away, you can check out my GitHub repo below!

With the immense growth of videos on the internet, it’s become really difficult to efficiently search amongst millions of them. When searching for an event query, users are often bewildered by the vast quantity of videos returned by search engines like Google. Exploring such results can be time-consuming and can also degrade the user experience.

Hence, we’ll be discussing ways to automate this process with machine learning-based video summarization techniques.

We live in the world that’s still transitioning from inventions of the Renaissance to inventions of the modern technological era. A couple examples: We still exchange business cards during meetings but store our numbers on cell phone; we still receive paper bills for our electricity, gas, and other utilities but pay them through mobile accounts. The list goes on and on. With the growing advances in machine learning, many steps of these processes can be eradicated right away.

If you’re a fan of HBO’s Silicon Valley, you’ll remember when they launched a real AI-powered mobile app that classifies hotdogs from a given image (or not). Using Google’s Vision API, let’s try to recreate a working model of the application in React Native.

Google’s Vision API is a machine learning tool that classifies details from an image provided as an input. The process of these classifications is based on thousands of different categories that are included in pre-trained API models. The Vision API enables access to these pre-trained models via a REST API.

Complex models such as deep neural networks are prone to overfitting because of their flexibility in memorizing the idiosyncratic patterns in the training set, instead of generalizing to unseen data.

Any modification we make to a learning algorithm that’s intended to reduce its generalization error but not its training error is called regularization. Keeping the model simple enough by using regularization techniques allows the network to generalize well on data points it hasn’t seen before.

In this tutorial, let’s start using a backend service to add real-time features to the chat app. For our backend services, I’m going to use Firebase. We’ll look at how to install and configure Firebase SDK in a React Native app with the help of react-native-firebase module, as well as set up and configure email authentication. In order to follow this tutorial and future posts, you’ll need to have an active Firebase project.

Core ML is Apple’s framework for machine learning. With Core ML, everyone can use machine learning in their apps—as long as that app runs on an Apple platform, and Apple platforms only. Core ML cannot be used with Android, Windows, or on websites. This is very unfortunate because Core ML is such a great piece of technology.
