Intelligent Mobile Projects with TensorFlow

Overview of this book

As a developer, you always need to keep an eye out and be ready for what will be trending soon, while also focusing on what's trending currently. So, what's better than learning about the integration of the best of both worlds, the present and the future? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely regarded as the next big thing after mobile, and Google's TensorFlow is the leading open source machine learning framework, the hottest branch of AI. This book covers more than 10 complete iOS, Android, and Raspberry Pi apps powered by TensorFlow and built from scratch, running all kinds of cool TensorFlow models offline on-device: from computer vision, speech and language processing to generative adversarial networks and AlphaZero-like deep reinforcement learning. You’ll learn how to use or retrain existing TensorFlow models, build your own models, and develop intelligent mobile apps running those TensorFlow models. You'll learn how to quickly build such apps with step-by-step tutorials and how to avoid many pitfalls in the process with lots of hard-earned troubleshooting tips.

Adding TensorFlow to your own iOS app

In the earlier version of TensorFlow, adding TensorFlow to your own app was very tedious, requiring the use of the manual build process of TensorFlow and other manual settings. In TensorFlow 1.4, the process is pretty straightforward, but still, detailed steps are not well documented in the TensorFlow website. One other thing that's missing is the lack of documentation on how to use TensorFlow in your Swift-based iOS app; the sample TensorFlow iOS apps are all in Objective-C, calling TensorFlow's C++ APIs. Let's see how we can do better.

Adding TensorFlow to your Objective-C iOS app

First, follow these steps to add TensorFlow with the image classification feature to your...
