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.

Summary

In this chapter, we first gave a quick overview on what is transfer learning and why we can and should use it to retrain pretrained deep learning image classification models. Then we presented detailed information on how to retrain an Inception v3-based model and a MobileNet model so we can better understand and recognize our best friends. After that, we first showed how to use the retrained models in the TensorFlow sample iOS and Android apps, then gave step-by-step tutorials on how to add TensorFlow to your own iOS app, both Objective-C and Swift-based, and your own Android app.

Now that we have our best friends, with a few nice and clean tricks, covered, we know there are a lot of other guys out there, good or bad. In the next chapter, we'll learn how to be smarter, how to recognize all the interesting objects in a picture, and locate them, on your smart phone...
