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 discussed how image captioning powered by modern end-to-end deep learning works, then summarized how to train such a model using the TensorFlow im2txt model project. We discussed in detail how to find the correct input node names and output node names, and how to freeze the model and then use the latest graph transformation tool and the memmapped conversion tool to fix some nasty bugs while loading the model on mobiles. After that, we showed detailed tutorials on how to build iOS and Android apps using the model and making new sequence inferences with the LSTM RNN component of the model.

It's pretty amazing that, after training with tens of thousands of image captioning examples, and powered by modern CNN and LSTM models, we can build and use a model that can generate a sensible natural language description of a picture on our mobile devices...
