How to build your first Machine Learning model on iPhone (Intro to Apple’s CoreML)
Introduction
The data scientist in me is living a dream – I can see top tech companies coming out with products close to the area I work on.
If you saw the recent Apple iPhone X launch event, iPhone X comes with some really cool features like FaceID, Animoji, Augmented Reality out of box, which use the power of machine learning. The hacker in me wanted to get my hands dirty and figure out what it takes to build a system like that?
When probed further, the answer was CoreML which is Apple’s official machine learning kit for developers. It works with iPhone, Macbook, Apple TV, Apple watch, in short, every Apple device.
Another interesting announcement was that Apple has designed a custom GPU and an advanced processing chip A11 Bionic with a neural engine optimised for Machine Learning in the latest iPhones.
With a powerful computing engine at its core, the iPhone will now
