Machine Learning Projects for Mobile Applications

Overview of this book

Machine learning is a technique that focuses on developing computer programs that can be modified when exposed to new data. We can make use of it for our mobile applications and this book will show you how to do so. The book starts with the basics of machine learning concepts for mobile applications and how to get well equipped for further tasks. You will start by developing an app to classify age and gender using Core ML and Tensorflow Lite. You will explore neural style transfer and get familiar with how deep CNNs work. We will also take a closer look at Google’s ML Kit for the Firebase SDK for mobile applications. You will learn how to detect handwritten text on mobile. You will also learn how to create your own Snapchat filter by making use of facial attributes and OpenCV. You will learn how to train your own food classification model on your mobile; all of this will be done with the help of deep learning techniques. Lastly, you will build an image classifier on your mobile, compare its performance, and analyze the results on both mobile and cloud using TensorFlow Lite with an RCNN. By the end of this book, you will not only have mastered the concepts of machine learning but also learned how to resolve problems faced while building powerful apps on mobiles using TensorFlow Lite, Caffe2, and Core ML.

Chapter 3. Applying Neural Style Transfer on Photos

In this chapter, we are going to build a complete iOS and Android application in which image transformations are applied to our own images in a fashion similar to the Instagram app. For this application, we are going to use Core ML and TensorFlow models again with the help of TensorFlow. To make this work, we will have to perform some small hacks.

The best use case for this chapter is based on a photo-editing app called Prisma with which you can convert your images into paintings using neural networks. You can convert your image into an art form that looks like it was painted by Picasso or Salvador Dali.

In this chapter, we will cover topics on:

  • Artistic neural style transfer
  • Building application using neural style transfer
