Overview of this book

Machine learning presents an entirely unique opportunity in software development. It allows smartphones to produce an enormous amount of useful data that can be mined, analyzed, and used to make predictions. This book will help you master machine learning for mobile devices with easy-to-follow, practical examples. You will begin with an introduction to machine learning on mobiles and grasp the fundamentals so you become well-acquainted with the subject. You will master supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms, and then learn how to build a machine learning model using mobile-based libraries such as Core ML, TensorFlow Lite, ML Kit, and Fritz on Android and iOS platforms. In doing so, you will also tackle some common and not-so-common machine learning problems with regard to Computer Vision and other real-world domains. By the end of this book, you will have explored machine learning in depth and implemented on-device machine learning with ease, thereby gaining a thorough understanding of how to run, create, and build real-time machine-learning applications on your mobile devices.

Chapter 11. The Future of ML on Mobile Applications

Machine learning (ML) requires massive computational power and, hence, requires specialized processors. But if the power of ML can be brought to mobile devices that lack such processing power and also work in offline mode, there will be enormous opportunities and an entire new business category with a whole gamut of innovative useful mobile applications that are very hard to imagine otherwise. The entire way customers and businesses connect with each other would be reshaped.

Mobile devices have become extended organs of human beings these days. It is hard to find anyone without a mobile phone with them always. If a mobile phone is going to be a part of the human being, then, just as the eyes, nose, legs, and so on know what we do daily and have got accustomed to our lifestyle, in a similar manner, mobile phones can alsounderstand the ins and outs of our daily routine and can bring out so many key data points, which we may not have had the...
