Image Classification with MXNet Scala Inference API

With the recent release of MXNet version 1.2.0, the new MXNet Scala Inference API was released. This release focuses on optimizing the developer experience for inference applications written in Scala. Scala is a general-purpose programming language that supports both functional programming and a strong static type system, and is used with high scale distributed processing with platforms such as Apache Spark. Now that you have been given the grand tour of the new Scala API, you're ready to try it out yourself. You will first need to setup your dev environment with mxnet-full package, and then you can try your hand at an image classification example and an object detection example (which we will demonstrate in the next post).
