The reason for this is that the hands can look very different, whether that’s with the form (although this holds for other […]
Detecting Whisky brands with Core ML and IBM Watson services
Everyone who knows me, also knows that I’m a huge whisky fan. In this post, I will blend two of my favourite things – whisky and programming, into an app that will detect the type of whisky, just by taking a picture of it. This might be useful if you have a whisky club that […]
Understanding Language on iOS

The first graphical user interface was the command line (or the terminal), where users have to type explicit commands that the computer can understand. It’s not that suitable for the not-that-tech-savy people, but a lot of computer programmers are still using it […]
Text recognition using Vision and Core ML
Introduction Machine Learning allows computers to learn and make decisions without being explicitly programmed how to do that. This is accomplished by algorithms that iteratively learn from the data provided. It’s a very complex topic and an exciting field for researchers, data scientists and academia. However, lately, it’s starting to be a must know skill […]
