TensorFlow A New Machine Learning System

Google has launched TensorFlow, a new machine learning system, which has been made available to all developers through an online open-source library.
 
The existing machine-learning by Google is known as DistBelief, has internally used to do things, such as automatically identifying and labeling items from YouTube videos, and photos, and also for improve speech recognition. However DistBelief has its own limitations, it was narrowly targeted to neutral networks, and it was also difficult to configure. Hence, making it impossible initially to share research codes.
 
“Today we’re proud to announce the open source release of TensorFlow -- our second-generation machine learning system, specifically designed to correct these shortcomings. TensorFlow is general, flexible, portable, easy-to-use, and completely open source. We added all this while improving upon DistBelief’s speed, scalability, and production readiness -- in fact, on some benchmarks, TensorFlow is twice as fast as DistBelief."
 
This machine has high scalable machine learning system, which can easily run across numerous computers in the datacenter and also on a single smartphone. TensorFlow can be used for everything, from voice recognition in the Google app to SmartReply in the inbox.
 
 
 
In the official blog Google states,
 
“TensorFlow is faster, smarter, and more flexible than our old system, so it can be adapted much more easily to new products and research.”
 
Google in the blog concludes,
 
“Machine learning is still in its infancy—computers today still can’t do what a 4-year-old can do effortlessly, like knowing the name of a dinosaur after seeing only a couple examples, or understanding that “I saw the Grand Canyon flying to Chicago” doesn’t mean the canyon is hurtling over the city. We have a lot of work ahead of us. But with TensorFlow we’ve got a good start, and we can all be in it together.”

Integrating Tensor flow API into ASP.net Web applications for Image detection

Introduction Tensor flow provides advanced Machine Learning API. For the example here we will provide a solution for the Image recognition. The same can be applied to other use cases such as Text recognition or any other data set that needs to solve the problems of AI and Machine Learning such as: Predictive Analytics Cognitive Processes and its Automation e.g. NLP Virtual Agents (Bot’s) Camera Image detection and processing e.g. Industrial Robotics and Drones Text Knowledge Analytics Application Development Steps In the first step we create an ASP.NET application for connecting the camera feed or input data. In the next step Install Tensor flow as per instructions on the website –>  Click here To begin using Tensor flow we need to decide on the model to use for processing input data – There is an option to use either ready-made models or develop on own depending on the problem at hand. For simplicity we will use ready-made model called a deep  convolut...

Machine Learning with ML.NET 1.0

As a person coming from .NET world, it was quite hard to get into  machine learning  right away. One of the main reasons was the fact that I couldn’t start Visual Studio and  try out  these new things in the technologies I am proficient with. I had to solve another obstacle and learn other  programming languages  more fitting for the job like Python and R. You can imagine my happiness when more than a year ago,  Microsoft  announced that as a part of  .NET Core 3 , a new feature will be available –  ML.NET . In fact it made me so happy that this is the third time I write similar  guide . Basically, I wrote one when ML.NET was a  version 0.2  and one when it was  version 0.10 . Both times, guys from Microsoft decided to modify the  API  and make my articles obsolete. That is why I have to do it once again. But hey, third time is the charm, so hopefully I will not have to do this again until ML.N...

Using Tensorflow Object Detection API to build a Toy detector

Here I extend the API to train on a new object that is not part of the COCO dataset. In this case I chose a toy that was lying around. See gif below. So far, I have been impressed by the performance of the API. The steps highlighted here can be extended to any single or multiple object detector that you want to build. Tensorflow Toy Detector~ You can find the code on my  Github  repo Collecting data The first step is collecting images for your project. You could download them from google ensuring you have a wide variation in angles, brightness, scale etc. In my case I created a video of the little aeroplane toy and used  Opencv  to extract images from the video. This saved me a lot of time. I ensured that images were taken from multiple angles. You can also randomly change brightness for some of the images so that the detector can work under different conditions of lightning. Overall 100–150 pics will suffice. See some sample images below: ...
