Machine learning is a vast topic that enjoys tremendous growth, both in research and development. In this chapter, we've explored only a tiny fraction of the state of the art in connection with machine learning algorithms, namely, using a deep learning neural network to perform image recognition. For some readers who are just beginning to get familiar with machine learning, the sample PixieApps and associated algorithms code may be too deep to digest at one time. However, the underlying aim was to demonstrate how to iteratively build an application that leverages a machine learning model. We happened to use a convolutional neural network model for image recognition, but any other model would do.
Hopefully, you got a good idea of how PixieDust and the PixieApp programming model can help you with your own project, and I strongly encourage you to use this sample application as a starting point to build your own custom application using the machine learning of your choice. I also recommend...
