Apple Shares 'Turi Create' Machine Learning Framework on Github

[MacRumors]

Apple this week shared a new machine learning framework called Turi Create on Github. According to Apple, Turi Create is designed to simplify the development of custom machine learning models.

Apple says Turi Create is easy to use, has a visual focus, is fast and scalable, and is flexible. Turi Create is designed to export models to Core ML for use in iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps. From the Turi Create Github repository:

[*]Easy-to-use: Focus on tasks instead of algorithms
[*]Visual: Built-in, streaming visualizations to explore your data
[*]Flexible: Supports text, images, audio, video and sensor data
[*]Fast and Scalable: Work with large datasets on a single machine
[*]Ready To Deploy: Export models to Core ML for use in iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps

With Turi Create, for example, developers can quickly build a feature that allows their app to recognize specific objects in images. Doing so takes just a few lines of code.

Turi Create covers several common scenarios including recommender systems, image classification, image similarity, object detection, activity classifier, and text classifier.

Apple purchased this technology back in August of 2016 when it acquired machine learning and AI startup Turi.

So close to being complete...

Reminds me of the bar scene in Terminator 2.

But can it detect hot dogs?

Sounds like a mashup of “Siri” and “Turd”... which I’m sure is just an unfortunate coincidence.

Or you know it's a nod to the father of modern computer science.

Disappointing that Core ML isn’t available on other platforms. I’ll stick with OpenCV + Tesseract to keep my image processing platform agnostic.

This is pretty cool on Apple part! I think they’re laying a great the foundation for making AR a commodity that any dev can take advantage of. By the time Apple glasses rolled out, Core ML models will be everywhere. This makes glasses useful to ththe mass. Hence, mainstream adoption.

Yes this is a problem. But this system is NOT targeted to AI and ML developers. it is targeted to developers who don't want to learn AI or ML but just want to use it. Lots of software devs just want to use an image classifier but don't want to have make one themselves

I admit i’m stupid, what’s this going to be used for?

But might Core ML be taking advantage of Neural Engine in the A11? An acceleration that might be available if you go platform agnostic.

Can it recognize a banana in a tailpipe?
