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 the drawing classification model in Android

It's time to see how we can load and use the model in Android. In the previous chapters, we added TensorFlow support just by using the Android apps' build.gradle file and adding a line compile 'org.tensorflow:tensorflow-android:+' . Compared to iOS, where we have to build a custom TensorFlow library to fix different model loading or running errors (for example, in Chapter 3, Detecting Objects and Their Locations, Chapter 4, Transforming Pictures with Amazing Art Styles, and Chapter 5, Understanding Simple Speech Commands), the default TensorFlow library for Android has better support for registered operations and data types, which could be because Android is Google's first-class citizen while iOS is second, even a close second.

The fact is that, when we deal with all kinds of amazing models out there,...
