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 a simple speech recognition model in iOS with Objective-C

If you have gone through the iOS apps in the previous three chapters, you'd probably prefer using the manually-built TensorFlow iOS library to the TensorFlow experimental pod, as with the manual library method, you have more control on what TensorFlow operations can be added to make your models happy, and this better control is also one of the reasons we decided to focus on TensorFlow Mobile instead of TensorFlow Lite in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Mobile TensorFlow.

So although you can try to use the TensorFlow pod by the time you read the book to see whether the pod has been updated to support all the ops used in the model, we'll from now on always use the manually-built TensorFlow libraries (see steps 1 and 2 of the Using object detection models in iOS section in Chapter 3, Detecting Objects and Their...
