Machine Learning with Swift

Overview of this book

Machine learning as a field promises to bring increased intelligence to the software by helping us learn and analyse information efficiently and discover certain patterns that humans cannot. This book will be your guide as you embark on an exciting journey in machine learning using the popular Swift language. We’ll start with machine learning basics in the first part of the book to develop a lasting intuition about fundamental machine learning concepts. We explore various supervised and unsupervised statistical learning techniques and how to implement them in Swift, while the third section walks you through deep learning techniques with the help of typical real-world cases. In the last section, we will dive into some hard core topics such as model compression, GPU acceleration and provide some recommendations to avoid common mistakes during machine learning application development. By the end of the book, you'll be able to develop intelligent applications written in Swift that can learn for themselves.

Training the network


First, we have to define how long we want to train out network. One epoch is one full pass over the training set. The number of steps in the epoch depends on the batch size and the number of samples in the training set. Let's say we want to pass over the training set 100 times:

num_epochs = 100

Fit the model on batches with real-time data augmentation:

num_epochs = 100 # we iterate 200 times over the entire training set 
history = model.fit_generator(train_flow, 
                    steps_per_epoch=len(X_train) / batch_size, 
                    epochs=num_epochs,  
                    verbose=1,  
                    validation_data=test_flow,  
                    validation_steps=len(X_test) / batch_size)
