Machine learning is a growing technique that focuses on the development of computer programs that can be changed or modified when exposed to new data. It has made significant advances that have enabled practical applications of machine learning (ML) and, by extension, the overall field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This book presents the implementation of seven practical, real-world projects that will teach you how to leverage TensorFlow Lite and Core ML to perform efficient machine learning. We will be learning about the recent advancements in TensorFlow and its extensions, such as TensorFlow Lite, to design intelligent apps that learn from complex/large datasets. We will delve into advancements such as deep learning by building apps using deep neural network architecture such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), transfer learning, and much more.
By the end of this book, you will not only have mastered all the concepts of and learned how to implement machine learning and deep learning, but you will also have learned how to solve the problems and challenges faced while building powerful apps on mobile using TensorFlow Lite and Core ML.
Machine Learning Projects for Mobile Applications is for you if you are a data scientist, ML expert, deep learning, or AI enthusiast who fancies mastering ML and deep learning implementation with practical examples using TensorFlow and Keras. Basic knowledge of Python programming language would be an added advantage.

Computers are improving by the day, and device form factors are changing tremendously. In the past, we would only see computers at offices, but now we see them on our home desks, on our laps, in our pockets, and on our wrists. The market is becoming increasingly varied as machines are being equipped with more and more intelligence.
Almost every adult currently carries a device around with them, and it is estimated that we look at our smartphones at least 50 times a day, whether there is a need to or not. These machines affect our daily decision-making processes. Devices are now equipped with applications such as Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa, or Cortana, features that are designed to mimic human intelligence. The ability to answer any query thrown at them presents these types of technology as master humans. On the backend, these systems improve using the collective intelligence acquired from all users. The more you interact with virtual assistants, the better are the results they give out.
Despite these advancements, how much closer are we to creating a human brain through a machine? We are in 2018 now. If science discovers a way to control the neurons of our brain, this may be possible in the near future. Machines that mimic the capabilities of a human are helping to solve complex textual, visual, and audio problems. They resemble the tasks carried out by a human brain on a daily basis—on average, the human brain makes approximately 35,000 decisions in a day.
While we will be able to mimic the human brain in the future, it will come at a cost. We don't have a cheaper solution for it at the moment. The magnitude of power consumption of a human brain simulation program limits it in comparison to a human brain. The human brain consumes about 20 W of power, while a simulation program consumes about 1 MW of power or more. Neurons in the human brain operate at a speed of 200 Hz, while a typical microprocessor operates at a speed of 2 GHz, which is 10 million times more than that.
While we are still far from cloning a human brain, we can implement an algorithm that makes conscious decisions based on previous data as well as data from similar devices. This is where the subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in handy. With predefined algorithms that identify patterns from the complex data we have, these types of intelligence can then give us useful information.
When the computer starts making decisions without being instructed explicitly every time, we achieve machine learning (ML) capability. ML is used everywhere right now, including through features such as identifying email spam, recommending the best product to buy on an e-commerce website, tagging your face automatically on a social media photograph, and so on. All of these are done using the patterns identified in historical data, and also through algorithms that reduce unnecessary noise from the data and produce quality output. When the data accumulates more and more, the computers can make better decisions.
Since we have wider access to mobile devices and the amount of time we spend on those devices is rapidly increasing, it makes sense to run ML models on the mobile phone itself. In the mobile phone market, Android and iOS platforms take the lead to cover the whole smartphone spectrum. We will explore how TensorFlow Lite and Core ML works on these mobile platforms.
The topics that will be covered in this chapter are as follows:
ML basics (with an example)
TensorFlow and Core ML basics
ML is a concept that describes the process of a set of generic algorithms analyzing your data, and providing you with interesting data without writing any specific codes for your problem.
Alternatively, we can look at ML as a black box how cutting edge scientists are using it to do something crazy like detecting epilepsy or cancer disease, yet your simple email inbox is using it to filter spam every day.
On a larger level, ML can be classified into the following two categories:
Supervised learning
Unsupervised learning
In this case, you only have input data (x) and no corresponding output variables. The goal for unsupervised learning is to model the underlying structure or distribution in the data in order to learn more about it.
In unsupervised learning, you may not have any data in the beginning. Say for example on the same scenario discussed above in supervised learning, you have a basket full of fruits and you are asked to group them into similar groups. But you don't have any previous data or there are no training or labeling is done earlier. In that case, you need to understand the domain first because you have no idea whether the input is a fruit or not. In that case, you need to first understand all the characteristics of every input and then to try to match with every new input. May be at the final step you might have classified all the red color fruits into one baskets and the green color fruits into another basket. But not an accurate classification. This is called as unsupervised learning.
