Overview of this book

Machine learning presents an entirely unique opportunity in software development. It allows smartphones to produce an enormous amount of useful data that can be mined, analyzed, and used to make predictions. This book will help you master machine learning for mobile devices with easy-to-follow, practical examples. You will begin with an introduction to machine learning on mobiles and grasp the fundamentals so you become well-acquainted with the subject. You will master supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms, and then learn how to build a machine learning model using mobile-based libraries such as Core ML, TensorFlow Lite, ML Kit, and Fritz on Android and iOS platforms. In doing so, you will also tackle some common and not-so-common machine learning problems with regard to Computer Vision and other real-world domains. By the end of this book, you will have explored machine learning in depth and implemented on-device machine learning with ease, thereby gaining a thorough understanding of how to run, create, and build real-time machine-learning applications on your mobile devices.

The ML Kit SDK

In this chapter, we will discuss ML Kit, which was announced by Firebase at the Google I/O 2018. This SDK packages Google's mobile machine learning offerings under a single umbrella.

Mobile application developers may want to implement features in their mobile apps that require machine learning capabilities. However, they may not have knowledge of machine learning concepts and which algorithms to use for which scenarios, how to build the model, train the model, and so on.

ML Kit tries to address this problem by identifying all the potential use cases for machine learning in the context of mobile devices, and providing ready-made APIs. If the correct inputs are passed to these, the required output is received, with no further coding required.

Additionally, this kit enables the inputs to be passed either to on-device APIs that work offline, or to online APIs that...
