Image Classifier With Teachable Machines

Made for Google Code-In

Task Description

Using Glitch and the Teachable Machines, build a Book Detector with Tensorflow.js. When a book is recognized, the code would randomly suggest a book/tell a famous quote from a book. Here is an example Project to get you started: https://glitch.com/~voltaic-acorn

Details

  1. Collecting Data

Teachable Machine allows you to create your dataset just by using your webcam! I created a database consisting of three classes ( Three Books ) and approximately grabbed 100 pictures for each book/class

  1. Training

Training on teachable machines is as simple as clicking the train button. I did not even have to modify any configurations.

  1. Finding Labels

Because I originally entered the entire name of the book and it's author's name as the label, the class name got truncated (Note to self, use shorter class names :p ). I then modified the code to print the modified label names in an alert box.

  1. Adding a suggestions function

I first added a text field on the main page and then modified the JavaScript file to suggest a similar book whenever the model predicted with an accuracy >= 98%

  1. Running!

Here it is running!

Remix this project:-

Then we read the file using OpenCV.

The cv2. imread() function returns a NumPy array representing the image. Therefore, we need to convert it before we can use it.

Polynomial Regression Using TensorFlow

In this tutorial you will learn about polynomial regression and how you can implement it in Tensorflow.

In this, we will be performing polynomial regression using 5 types of equations -

  • Linear
  • Quadratic
  • Cubic
  • Quartic
  • Quintic

Regression

What is Regression?

Regression is a statistical measurement that is used to try to determine the relationship between a dependent variable (often denoted by Y), and series of varying variables (called independent variables, often denoted by X ).

What is Polynomial Regression

This is a form of Regression Analysis where the relationship between Y and X is denoted as the nth degree/power of X. Polynomial regression even fits a non-linear relationship (e.g when the points don't form a straight line).

Building a Fake News Detector with Turicreate

In this tutorial we will build a fake news detecting app from scratch, using Turicreate for the machine learning model and SwiftUI for building the app

Note: These commands are written as if you are running a jupyter notebook.

Building the Machine Learning Model

Data Gathering

To build a classifier, you need a lot of data. George McIntire (GH: @joolsa) has created a wonderful dataset containing the headline, body and wheter it is fake or real. Whenever you are looking for a dataset, always try searching on Kaggle and GitHub before you start building your own

Dependencies

I used a Google Colab instance for training my model. If you also plan on using Google Colab then I reccomend choosing a GPU Instance (It is Free) This allows you to train the model on the GPU. Turicreat is built on top of Apache's MXNet Framework, for us to use GPU we need to install a CUDA compatible MXNet package.

Making My First Vaporwave Track (Remix)

I finally completed my first quick and dirty vaporwave remix of "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys

V A P O R W A V E

Vaporwave is all about A E S T H E T I C S. Vaporwave is a type of music genre that emmerged as a parody of Chillwave, shared more as a meme rather than a proper musical genre. Of course this changed as the genre become mature

How to Vaporwave

The first track which is considered to be actual Vaporwave is Ramona Xavier's Macintosh Plus, this unspokenly set the the guidelines for making Vaporwave

  • Take a 1980s RnB song
  • Slow it down
  • Add Bass and Trebble
  • Add again
  • Add Reverb ( make sure its wet )

There you have your very own Vaporwave track.

( Now, there are some tracks being produced which are not remixes and are original )

My Remix

Where is the Programming?

The fact that there are steps on producing Vaporwave, this gave me the idea that Vaporwave can actually be made using programming, stay tuned for when I publish the program which I am working on ( Generating A E S T H E T I C artwork and remixes)

Making My First Vaporwave Track (Remix)

I finally completed my first quick and dirty vaporwave remix of "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys

V A P O R W A V E

Vaporwave is all about A E S T H E T I C S. Vaporwave is a type of music genre that emmerged as a parody of Chillwave, shared more as a meme rather than a proper musical genre. Of course this changed as the genre become mature

How to Vaporwave

The first track which is considered to be actual Vaporwave is Ramona Xavier's Macintosh Plus, this unspokenly set the the guidelines for making Vaporwave

  • Take a 1980s RnB song
  • Slow it down
  • Add Bass and Trebble
  • Add again
  • Add Reverb ( make sure its wet )

There you have your very own Vaporwave track.

( Now, there are some tracks being produced which are not remixes and are original )

Compiling Open Babel on iOS

Due to the fact that my summer vacations started today, I had the brilliant idea of trying to run open babel on my iPad. To give a little background, I had tried to compile AutoDock Vina using a cross-compiler but I had miserably failed.

I am running the Checkr1n jailbreak on my iPad and the Unc0ver jailbreak on my phone.

But Why?

Well, just because I can. This is literally the only reason I tried compiling it and also partially because in the long run I want to compile AutoDock Vina so I can do Molecular Docking on the go.

Let's Go!

How hard can it be to compile open babel right? It is just a simple software with clear and concise build instructions. I just need to use cmake to build and the make to install.

It is 11 AM in the morning. I install clang, cmake and make from the Sam Bingner's repository, fired up ssh, downloaded the source code and ran the build command.`clang

Fail No. 1

I couldn't even get cmake to run, I did a little digging arond StackOverflow and founf that I needed the iOS SDK, sure no problem. I waited for Xcode to update and transfered the SDKs to my iPad

scp -r /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk root@192.168.1.8:/var/sdks/ +Compiling Open Babel on iOS | Navan Chauhan

Them I told cmake that this is the location for my SDK 😠. Succesful! Now I just needed to use make.

Fail No. 2

It was giving the error that thread-local-storage was not supported on this device.

To run this command you simple copy the SMILES structure of the ligand you want an it automatically takes it from your clipboard, generates the 3D structure in the AutoDock PDBQT format using Open Babel and then docks it with your receptor using AutoDock Vina, all with just one command.

Let me break down the commands

obabel -:"$(pbpaste)" --gen3d -opdbqt -Otest.pdbqt

pbpaste and pbcopy are macOS commands for pasting and copying from and to the clipboard. Linux users may install the xclip and xsel packages from their respective package managers and then insert these aliases into their bash_profile, zshrc e.t.c

Compiling AutoDock Vina on iOS

Why? Because I can.

Installing makedepend

makedepend is a Unix tool used to generate dependencies of C source files. Most modern programes do not use this anymore, but then again AutoDock Vina's source code hasn't been changed since 2011. The first hurdle came when I saw that there was no makedepend command, neither was there any package on any development repository for iOS. So, I tracked down the original source code for makedepend (https://github.com/DerellLicht/makedepend). According to the repository this is actually the source code for the makedepend utility that came with some XWindows distribution back around Y2K. I am pretty sure there is a problem with my current compiler configuration because I had to manually edit the Makefile to provide the path to the iOS SDKs using the -isysroot flag.

RDKit is one of the most integral part of any Cheminfomatic specialist's toolkit but it is notoriously difficult to install unless you already have conda installed. I originally found this in a GitHub Gist but I have not been able to found that gist again :/

Just copy and paste this in a Colab cell and it will install it 👍

Introduction to AR.js and Natural Feature Tracking

AR.js

AR.js is a lightweight library for Augmented Reality on the Web, coming with features like Image Tracking, Location based AR and Marker tracking. It is the easiest option for cross-browser augmented reality.

The same code works for iOS, Android, Desktops and even VR Browsers!

It weas initially created by Jerome Etienne and is now maintained by Nicolo Carpignoli and the AR-js Organisation

NFT

Usually for augmented reality you need specialised markers, like this Hiro marker (notice the thick non-aesthetic borders 🤢)

This is called marker based tracking where the code knows what to look for. NFT or Natural Feature Tracing converts normal images into markers by extracting 'features' from it, this way you can use any image of your liking!

I'll be using my GitHub profile picture

Creating the Marker!

First we need to create the marker files required by AR.js for NFT. For this we use Carnaux's repository 'NFT-Marker-Creator'.
