Watson Studio

IBM Watson Studio is an interactive, collaborative, cloud-based environment where data scientists can use multiple tools to activate their insights.
Data scientists can work with a growing set of data science tools such as
  • R Studio
  • Jupyter
  • Python
  • Scala
  • Spark
  • IBM Watson Machine Learning
  • Watson Visual Recognition
  • Natural Language Classifier
  • Auto AI
  • and more....

Today we will learn how to use Watson Studio to Build Custom Models using :

  • Watson Visual Recognition
  •  Natural Language Classifier

Goals :

  • Create Watson Studio Project
  • Train Visual Data & Textual Data
  • Test Visual Model & Textual Data
  • Implement and Deploy Visual and Textual Model using CURL and Node.js SDK

What is Watson Visual Recognition

@poojamakes

IBM Developer

Pre Trained Model :

  • General model: Default classification from thousands of classes.
  • Explicit model: Whether an image is inappropriate for general use.
  • Food model: Specifically for images of food items.
  • Text model (Private beta): Text extraction from natural scene images.
     

Requires training:

  • Custom model: Train a custom classifier by providing positive and negative images.

General Model

•Animals (including birds, reptiles, amphibians, etc.)

•Person and people-oriented information and activities

•Food (including cooked food and beverages)

•Plants (including trees, shrubs, aquatic plants, vegetables)

•Sports

•Nature (including many types of natural formations, geological structures)

•Transportation (land, water, air)

•And many more, including furnishings, fruits, musical instruments, tools, colors, gadgets, devices, instruments, weapons, buildings, structures and man-made objects, clothing and garments, and flowers, among others.

Tips for Creating Models

  • Provide training examples that are similar to what you plan to analyze.
    • For example : Training a with a tiger in the zoo might give different results when classifying a tiger in the wild. Thee background, light, surroundings, angle,  distance and size of subject matters.
  • Time vs Accuracy - More images the more data you provide .. the better your model . However ... benefits of more for visual models plateaus around 5000 images
  • Recommendation for Visual Recognition model is 150 - 200 per .zip file. Image size of 320 x 320 pixels . Does not need to be high resolution
  • Limit the length of input text to fewer than 60 words.
  • Make sure that each class is matched with at least 5 - 10 records when each text record has only one class. This number provides enough training on that class.
  • Include standard hyphenated terms when they are part of the training data (back-to-back or part-time job).
