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.

Using fast neural-style transfer models in Android

In Chapter 2, Classifying Images with Transfer Learning, we described how to add TensorFlow to your own Android app, but without any UI. Let's create a new Android app to use the fast-style transfer models we trained earlier and used in iOS.

Because this Android app offers a good opportunity to use the minimal TensorFlow-related code and Android UI and threaded code to run a complete TensorFlow model-powered app, we'll go through each line of the code added from scratch to help you further understand what it takes to develop an Android TensorFlow app from scratch:

  1. In Android Studio, select File | New | New Project... and enter FastNeuralTransfer as the Application Name; accept all the defaults before clicking Finish.

  2. Create a new assets folder, as shown in Figure 2.13, and drag the fast neural transfer models you...
