New to data science? Here are a few places to start

Articles

Someone once told me than any time you answer a question more than once, you should just blog about it. To anyone just starting out in data science, here’s how I began my journey: like everyone else, I Googled it.

If you do, you’ll be presented with millions of resources, and I guarantee you won’t know where to start. The amount of available information is overwhelming.

Profiling TensorFlow Lite models for Android

Articles

If you’ve tried deploying your trained deep learning models on Android, you must have heard about TensorFlow Lite, the lite version of TensorFlow built for mobile deployment.

As a quick overview, it supports most of the basic operators; in simple terms, you can use it to do classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, and most of the text synthesis operations.

TensorFlow Lite Text Classification Models with Model Maker

Articles

In this article, let’s look at how you can use TensorFlow Model Maker to create a custom text classification model. Currently, the TF Lite model maker supports image classification, question answering, and text classification models. It uses transfer learning for shortening the amount of time required to build TF Lite models.

How to Make a Space Wormhole in Lens Studio Using the Material Editor

Articles

Materials can seem intimidating to get the hang of — so many interconnected nodes, math operations, and procedural textures. I know it seemed like magic to me when I first started, but beneath this complexity are some very simple principles, and understanding these will enable you to create your own relatively complex materials in a short space of time.

Running TensorFlow Lite Object Detection Models in Python

Articles

This blog is the sixth blog in the series and a follow-up to my previous blog post on running TensorFlow Lite image classification models in Python. If you haven’t read that post, you can read it here:

This blog post assumes that you already have a trained TFLite model on hand. If you don’t or need to build one, you can take a look at the blog post that I have written here:

Using ViewModels in Android to preserve your running app’s state

Articles

In my previous blog on using Room with Android, I outlined how one can use Room to effectively store app data after a user has exited your app for a better user experience. If you haven’t read this blog, you can read it here:

But what about cases where your app is running and its state is changed—for example, when the phone’s orientation is changed from portrait to landscape and vice versa?
