Deploy a Python Machine Learning Model on your iPhone

This article describes the shortest path from training a python machine learning model to a proof of concept iOS app you can deploy on an iPhone. The goal is to provide the basic scaffolding while leaving room for further customization suited to one's specific use case. In the spirit of simplicity, we will overlook some tasks such as model validation and building a fully polished user interface (UI). By the end of this tutorial, you will have a trained model running on iOS that you can showcase as a prototype and load to your device. First, let's create a python virtual environment called .core_ml_demo and then install the necessary libraries i.e. pandas scikit-learn and coremltools.
