Overview of this book

We’re witnessing a revolution in Artificial Intelligence, thanks to breakthroughs in deep learning. Mobile Artificial Intelligence Projects empowers you to take part in this revolution by applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to design applications for natural language processing (NLP), robotics, and computer vision. This book teaches you to harness the power of AI in mobile applications along with learning the core functions of NLP, neural networks, deep learning, and mobile vision. It features a range of projects, covering tasks such as real-estate price prediction, recognizing hand-written digits, predicting car damage, and sentiment analysis. You will learn to utilize NLP and machine learning algorithms to make applications more predictive, proactive, and capable of making autonomous decisions with less human input. In the concluding chapters, you will work with popular libraries, such as TensorFlow Lite, CoreML, and PyTorch across Android and iOS platforms. By the end of this book, you will have developed exciting and more intuitive mobile applications that deliver a customized and more personalized experience to users.

Serving the model as an API

Now that we have created a model for prediction, the next thing is to serve this model via a RESTful API. To achieve this, we will use lightweight Python framework called Flask: http://flask.pocoo.org/.

Let's start by installing the Flask library in our conda environment if it does not already exist:

pip install Flask

Building a simple API to add two numbers

Now we will build a very simple API to get a grip on the Flask library and framework. This API will accept a JSON object with two numbers and return the sum of the numbers as a response.

Open a new notebook from your Jupyter home page:

  1. Import all the libraries we need and create an app instance:
from flask import Flask, request 
app =...
