While it has been possible to deploy TensorFlow models to mobile and embedded devices via TensorFlow for Mobile for some time, Google released an experimental version of TensorFlow Lite as an evolution of TensorFlow for Mobile at the end of last year. This new functionality allows building exciting AI scenarios on edge devices and the performance of the models is amazing. (more…)

In March IBM launched the Model Asset Exchange which is a place for developers to find and use open source deep learning models. In this article I describe how developers can use these models in applications and how the applications can be deployed to Kubernetes. (more…)

In March IBM announced Deep Learning as a Service (DLaaS) which is part of IBM Watson Studio. Below I describe how to use this service to train models and how to optimize hyperparameters to easily find the best quality model. (more…)

Recently Google introduced TensorFlow.js, which is a JavaScript library for training and deploying machine learning models in browsers and on Node.js. I like especially the ability to run predictions in browsers. Since running this code locally saves the remote calls to servers, the performance is amazing! (more…)

I've continued to play with Unity and the IBM Watson SDK, which allows using cognitive services like speech recognition in Unity projects. With this technology you can not only build games, but also other exciting scenarios. I've changed my Augmented Reality sample slightly to run it as a Virtual Reality app that can be experienced via Google Cardboard and an iPhone. (more…)

Over the last days I've enjoyed playing with Unity and the IBM Watson SDK, which allows using cognitive services like speech recognition in Unity projects. With this technology you can not only build games, but also other exciting scenarios. I've extended an Augmented Reality application from my colleague Amara Keller which allows iOS users to have conversations with a virtual character. (more…)

Last week my colleagues and I attended We Are Developers in Vienna, a developer conference with 8000 attendees. We presented and demonstrated the IBM Cloud and the IBM Code developer site. Below are some pictures. (more…)

Last week my colleagues and I attended JAX, which is a developer conference with 2000 attendees with a focus on Java and enterprise technologies. My colleagues and I presented and demonstrated the IBM Cloud and the IBM Code developer site. Below are some pictures. (more…)

As serverless platforms mature, more and more sophisticated cloud-native applications are built with serverless technologies. I've created a sample application which uses multiple functions which have been developed with JavaScript, TypeScript, Java and Kotlin. (more…)

Over the next weeks I'll repeat my session "When to use Serverless? When to use Kubernetes?" several times. As backup and for people who won't attend the sessions I've recorded the demos. (more…)
