Machine Learning and Mobile: Deploying Models on The Edge - Algorithmia Blog

Machine Learning is emerging as a serious technology just as mobile is becoming the default method of consumption, and that's leading to some interesting possibilities. Smartphones are packing more power by the year, and some are even overtaking desktop computers in speed and reliability. That means that a lot of the Machine Learning workloads that we think of as requiring specialized, high priced hardware will soon be doable on mobile devices. This post will outline this shift and how Machine Learning can work with the new paradigm. Unsurprisingly, this trend is starting to impact Machine Learning as well.
