TensorFlow 2.0 Alpha Seriously Improves the Customer Experience

by Claudia GarciaJul 15, 2019#MachineLearning

TensorFlow is a Machine Learning cross-platform that has started to be adopted widely worldwide. Even though TensorFlow was just released by Google in 2015, it has grown from a software library of machine learning to an entire ecosystem to support different types of Machine Learning, such as deep learning, complex neural networks, AI, just to mention some examples.

The TensorFlow 2.0 Alpha is available today. The newest features include the introduction of Keras, a high-level and user-friendly API standard for Machine Learning that simplifies the process of building and training models to be used by beginners and experts. With TensorFlow 2.0, Google is pursuing to improve usability and clarity, at the same time, they had listened to the developers who claimed for more documentation of the library.

During the Google I/O 2019, Google announced the introduction of TensorFlow Lite, a Machine learning framework released for mobile development (Android, iOS, Firebase) using an Apache 2.0 license.

The areas of application for this technology are undoubtedly amazing. Some companies have started to use Tensor Flow to improve the customer experience; eBay, Dropbox, and Airbnb are some examples. On the research field, some of the areas of application of the platform include projects that go from the detection of breast cancer to the forecast of earthquake aftershocks.

Feature Engineering for Machine Learning

Feature engineering is a crucial aspect when it comes to designing machine learning models, and it plays a big role in creating top-notch AI systems. Features are attributes that represent the problem of the machine learning use case and contribute to the model’s prediction. The process of feature engineering involves creating relevant and useful features from raw data combined with existing features, adding more variables and signals to improve the model’s accuracy and performance. It starts manually and can be accelerated by adding automated feature engineering tools and techniques. Follow the steps of feature engineering to optimize your machine learning models and create innovative products. 

Machine Learning in IoT: Advancements and Applications

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly changing various industries by improving processes and products. With the growth of IoT devices and data transmissions, enterprises are facing challenges in managing, monitoring, and securing devices. Machine learning (ML) can help generate intelligence by working with large datasets from IoT devices. ML can create accurate models that analyze and interpret the data generated by IoT devices, identify and secure devices, detect abnormal behavior, and prevent threats. ML can also authenticate devices and improve user experiences. Other IoT applications benefiting from ML include predictive maintenance, smart homes, supply chain, and energy optimization. Building ML features on IoT edge devices is possible with TensorFlow Lite.

DataOps: Cutting-Edge Analytics for AI Solutions

DataOps is an essential practice for organizations that seek to implement AI solutions and create competitive advantages. It involves communication, integration, and automation of data operations processes to deliver high-quality data analytics for decision-making and market insights. The pipeline process, version control of source code, environment isolation, replicable procedures, and data testing are critical components of DataOps. Using the right tools and methodologies, such as Apache Airflow Orchestration, GIT, Jenkins, and programmable platforms like Google Cloud Big Query and AWS, businesses can streamline data engineering tasks and create value from their data. Krasamo’s DataOps team can help operationalize data for your organization.
