The Linux Foundation Launches AI Project with Open Source || UNIV TECHS




     The Linux Foundation launched a Deep Learning Foundation to support as well as sustain open source innovation in regards to artificial intelligence, deep learning, and machine learning. This Organization aims at making these critical new-technologies all available to the developer as well as data scientists worldwide.



LF Deep Learning Foundation is comprised of many members, they include; Amdocs, B. Yond, Tech Mahindra, AT & T, Huawei, Nokia, Univa, ZTE, Tencent among others. Their main target is to create a neutral space to enable makers and sustainers of tools as well as infrastructure to interact and coordinate their efforts so as to facilitate the broad adaption of deep-learning technologies.

 

Long-term benefits of Deep learning Foundation

     LF has launched the Acumos Al Project through Deep Learning Foundation to provide a platform for the discovery, development, and sharing of AI workflows and AI models. Both AT & T and Tech Mahindra have contributed greatly to the Acumos AI Project’s initial code.

     The project aims at making AI’s power accessible to everyone by simply making it simple and easy to build, share, discover as well as apply deep learning, machine learning, and analytics models. Acumos AI platform will be managed by the Linux Foundation to facilitate their goal of nurturing an active and large ecosystem within the project in order to sustain it for a long term.  Acumos AI project’s code is now available and can be downloaded from the open source.

     LF Deep Learning is the focus in creating more projects for the growth of open source in AI. They expect future project contributions from Tencent and Baidu among others. LF Deep Learning has welcomed the open source community to support the projects’ entire ecosystem as well as join them to make this innovation a success.

     Acumos provides a visual workflow for developers to easily design ML and AI applications. Whereas, according to Linux Foundation, AI tools typically require significant domain expertise. Acumos provides an open and federated platform for AI and it enables developers as well as companies to make use of the latest AI technologies and to largely share proven models as well as expertise. The launch of Acumos will benefit both developers to data scientist across various industries and fields starting from a network and video analytics to threat prediction. content curation and much more.

     According to Linux Company, the Acumos Marketplace is going to package components as micro-services to allow users to export “ready-to-launch” AI applications as containers.

The Acumos AI Platform

   The Acumos AI platform offers numerous benefits to its users and they include;
  • Allows easy onboarding and training for both models and tools
  • Supports many popular software languages such as Java, Python, and R
  • Supports modern micro-services and containers in-order to package and export products such as ready AI applications inform of Docker files.
  • Packages tools such as SciKit and TensorFlow as well as models which has a common API that enables them to seamlessly connect.
  • Includes a federated AI-Model Marketplace which is AI models’ catalog contributed by the community and can be securely shared.

 

Benefits of Acumos AI

  For Builders of infrastructure and AI applications

     Acumos AI helps provide a standardized platform, easy export as well as the deployment of Docker file to any environment which include major public clouds, maintenance a breeze and make stand-up

  For Creators of data pipelines and AI models.

     This platform provides simplified toolkit and model on-boarding to allow data scientist or developers focus more on building great AI instead of maintaining infrastructure.

  For users and trainers of AI applications and models.

     It provides users with a visual design editor as well as drag-and-drop application with design and chaining to enable users and other end-users to normally employ complicated AI apps for testing and training in minutes.

     The idea of launching Deep Learning Foundation to enhance the growth of open source in AI was great. It makes the whole process easy thus the Acumus Marketplace is a free platform and it packages numerous components inform of microservices so as to allow users to export the ready-to-launch AI applications in the form of containers to enable it to run in any environment; both in private clouds and private environment.

Apple’s 'Create ML' || Univ_Techs

Image
      Apple announced a new feature for developers called Create ML . It Create machine learning models for use in your app. Create ML is a machine learning framework in Swift which can be used to train the machine learning models using native Apple technologies like Swift, Xcode, and Other Apple frameworks. This means machine learning is possible within Apple ecosystem without any third-party service.  Create ML technology has following features,.. A simple approach for training the model using images, texts, and tabular data Models still can be trained using complex algorithm if you are expert Machine learning models can be created using Xcode Playground, Swift, and native Apple framework The process of creating and training module can be automated using Swift scripts.      You train a model to recognize patterns by showing it representative samples. For example, you can train a model to recognize dogs by showing it lots of images of different dogs. A

3 Best Frameworks For Machine Learning || UNIV_TECHS

Image
     If you are a beginner, check out our articles on ”Machine learning crash course” and “Machine learning specialization course”.      Each of these Frameworks is different from each other and takes much time to learn, during the time of making this list we took care of features other than the basic ones, User base and community & support was one of the most important parameters. Some frameworks are more mathematically oriented, and hence geared more towards statistical than neural networks. Some of them provide a rich set of linear algebra tools; some are mainly focused only on deep learning. 1. TensorFlow TensorFlow an open source software library for data-based programming across a range of tasks, which was developed by Google Brain team and initially released on 9th of November 2015, though the stable release was made available only on 27th of April this year. It is capable of doing regressions, classifications, neural networks, etc. very effect

Google's ML-Kit for Mobile Development || Univ_Techs

Image
     ML Kit is a mobile SDK that brings Google's machine learning expertise to Android and iOS apps in a powerful yet easy-to-use package. Whether you're new or experienced in machine learning, you can implement the functionality you need in just a few lines of code. There's no need to have deep knowledge of neural networks or model optimization to get started. On the other hand, if you are an experienced ML developer, ML Kit provides convenient APIs that help you use your custom TensorFlow Lite models in your mobile apps.      At Google I/O'18 developer conference in May, Google introduced ML Kit, a cross-platform suite of machine learning tools for the Firebase mobile development platform. ML Kit uses the Neural Network API on Android devices and is designed to compress and optimize machine learning models for mobile devices.  It brings Google’s machine learning expertise to mobile developers in a powerful and easy-to-use package. ML Kit makes
