Nowadays, people check their watches for important notifications as much as they do the time. Wearable devices, like Android-based watches, are gaining more momentum as Google continues to improve its Android Wear platform for developers.
A couple of months ago, I was working on a simple application called Location-based tasks using Geofence. If you don’t know what Geofencing is, check out the link below:

Welcome back to the second part of this series. In this section, we’ll dive into the YOLO object localization model.
Although you’ve probably heard the acronym YOLO before, this one’s different. For the purposes of this post, YOLO stands for “You Only Look Once”.

This post is a beginner’s guide to generate word embeddings using word2vec. There are two primary architectures for implementing word2vec: namely continuous bag-of-words (CBOW) and skip-gram (SG). In this article, we’ll explore the problem of word embeddings in more detail and get some hands-on experience with both architectures.
I attended my first I/O this year, and it was a really good experience. While there, I Tweeted about some of the announcements in real-time. You can check them out on my twitter page.
But I wanted to dig a bit deeper and give more detail about news related to Android development that came out of I/O. There are other developments and Android-related announcements, but here I’ll only mention one connected specifically to Android development.

Through the first 3 parts of our federated learning (FL) demo project, we’ve set up a system wherein machine learning (ML) models is trained using FL. Put simply, a generic model is created at the server. The model is then sent to the clients for training, and then sent back to the server.
Check out the previous 3 parts in the project to get caught up:

GANs are one of the most interesting topics in machine learning today. They have been used in a number of problems (and not just to generate MNIST digits!) and performed very well in each case. A GAN (General Adversarial Network) consists of a generator and a discriminator, which compete against each other to produce mind-blowing results. Here, we’ll take a mathematical approach towards understanding the GAN and its loss functions. As the idea behind training a GAN comes from game theory, we’ll have a quick look at the Minimax Optimization Strategy too.

In my previous article that examined classification with TensorFlow, I covered the basics details of how to perform linear classification with TensorFlow’s estimator API. You can read that blog post here:
For part two, I’m going to cover how we can tackle classification with a dense neural network. I’ll be using the same dataset and the same amount of input columns to train the model, but instead of using TensorFlow’s LinearClassifier, I’ll instead be using DNNClassifier. We’ll also compare the two methods.

In this blog post, we’ll be learning how to automate the Chrome Dinosaur Game using neural networks with TensorFlow.js. If you haven’t played it before, it’s a side scrolling game available offline (for when Chrome or your Internet crashes) where you control a 2D dinosaur and have to jump and duck to avoid obstacles. Give it a shot here:

When building machine learning models, we often tend to focus on the more glamorous aspects of machine learning, such as finding the best architecture and tuning hyperparameters, that we fail to recognize that our dataset is the lifeblood of our entire pipeline.
Feature engineering is one of the most important skills needed in data science and machine learning. It has a major influence on the performance of machine learning models and even the quality of insights derived during exploratory data analysis (EDA).
In this article, we’re going to learn some important techniques and tools that will help you properly extract, prepare, and engineer features from your dataset.
