Machine learning is the a bubbling topic in the industry, but how do we take advantage of this technology to create better apps? In this session we will start from the basics of Markov models, hidden Markov models and neural networks, then move to the process for making a neural network for a specific task in image processing, and finally how the new BNNS API in the Accelerate framework helps us to implement and run neural networks on Apple platforms.
