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 covered two cutting-edge tools of using machine learning and deep learning models on mobile and embedded devices: TensorFlow Lite and Core ML. While TensorFlow Lite is still in developer preview, with limited support for TensorFlow operations, its future releases will support more and more TensorFlow features, while keeping the latency low and app size small. We offered step-by-step tutorials on how to develop TensorFlow Lite iOS and Android apps to classify an image from scratch. Core ML is Apple's framework for mobile developers to integrate machine learning in iOS apps, and it has great support for converting and using classical machine learning models built with Scikit Learn, as well as good support for Keras-based models. We also showed how to convert Scikit Learn and Keras models to Core ML models and use them in Objective-C and Swift apps...
