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 started with a slight disdain for the impossible, trying to beat the market by using TensorFlow and Keras RNN APIs to predict stock prices. We first discussed what RNN and LSTM models are and how to use them to make stock price predictions. Then we built two RNN models from scratch with TensorFlow and Keras, reaching close to 60% of testing correctness. Finally, we covered how to freeze the models and use them on iOS and Android, fixing a possible runtime error on iOS with a custom TensorFlow library.

If you're a little bit disappointed that we haven't built a model with an 80% or 90% correct prediction ratio, you may want to continue the "try and iterate" process to see whether predicting stock prices with that correct ratio is possible at all. But the skills you have learned from RNN model building, training, and testing using...
