When I had a first
glimpse on ML
What is Machine
Learning?
What is Machine Learning?
• Arthur Samuel, an American pioneer in the field of
computer gaming and artificial intelligence, coined the
term “Machine Learning” in 1959 while at IBM.
• “A computer program is said to learn from experience E
with respect to some class of tasks T and performance
measure P if its performance at tasks in T, as measured
by P, improves with experience E” (Mitchell, 1997)

Types of Learning
• Supervised learning
The computer is presented with example inputs and their
desired outputs, given by a “teacher”, and the goal is to
learn a general rule that maps inputs to outputs.
• Unsupervised learning
No labels are given to the learning algorithm, leaving it on
its own to find structure in its input. Unsupervised
learning can be a goal in itself (discovering hidden patterns
in data) or a means towards an end (feature learning)

What can Machine Learning do?
• Natural Language Processing (NLP)
• Sentiment analysis (“I do not like that
book”)
• Language detection
• Image recognition
• Cat or dog, model of car, types of objects in
frame
• Facial recognition (group photos by
individual)
• Hotdog or not hotdog?
• Prediction
• Trends (weather, stocks, product sales)
• Agents
• Automated game players, chatbots

Machine Learning Libraries
• Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK)
• Language processing in Python:
Parts of speech, named entities,
parse trees
• TensorFlow
• Open source software library for
numerical computation
• Flexible architecture
• Originally made by researchers
and engineers at Google Brain
• TensorFlow Lite: Machine Learning
apps for android

What is TensorFlow?
• TensorFlow is an open-source
software library for dataflow
programming across a range of
tasks. It is a symbolic math
library, and also used for machine
learning applications such as
neural networks.
• In May 2017 Google announced a
software stack specifically for
Android development, TensorFlow
Lite, beginning with Android Oreo.

What is required from me?
• Mathematics
• Understanding of Statistics, Linear Algebra (Matrix Operations, Tensors),
Calculus
• Programming
• Knowledge in Python, Scala, Java, or R
• Domain Knowledge
• Know your problem and your data
• Software Engineering
• Questions about performance and integration of ML models
• Burning passion to pursue ML
• Don’t get frustrated if you don’t get it the first time
• Practice, practice, practice
• Read books

Building ML Apps with
TensorFlow Eager
Execution
What is Eager Execution?
• TensorFlow's eager execution is an imperative
programming environment that evaluates operations
immediately, without building graphs.
• Operations return concrete values instead of
constructing a computational graph to run later.
Graph Execution vs Eager Execution

Graph Execution Eager Execution

import tensorflow as tf import tensorflow as tf

sess = tf.InteractiveSession() tf.enable_eager_execution()

tf.executing_eagerly() # Prints true
a = tf.constant(3)
b = tf.constant(5) a = 3
b = 5
multiply = tf.multiply(a, b)
print(multiply) # prints multiply = tf.multiply(a, b)
Tensor("Mul_2:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)
multiply.eval(feed_dict={a: 3, b: 5})
print(multiply) # prints 15
# prints 15
 What do I need?

Interactive IDE Data Processing and Visualization ML Libraries

(e.g. Jupyter Notebook) Libraries (e.g. TensorFlow, Theano,
(e.g. matplotlib, ggplot2, Scikit-learn)
numpy, scipy)
Demo:
Iris
Classification
Problem
The Iris Classification Problem

The Iris genus entails about 300 species, but our program will classify only the following
three: Iris setosa, Iris virginica, and Iris versicolor.
Things to consider
• Make sure your images are of lesser file size for faster
processing
• Your images should be of the same dimensions; machine
learning works on image datasets of the same sizes
• Check the version of the data visualization library you’re
using
• Choosing the right activation function and Machine
Learning algorithm for your ML projects (LSTM for NLP,
SVM for Image Processing Classification, etc)
• Funded by Jollibee FEP
Youth Program
• Develop an intelligent pest
and crop monitoring
system via drone imaging
• Analyze crop health and
whether crops are infested
by gathering image data
and analyzing them with
image processing
