Build your own machine learning models with ease using microsoft's lobe.ai - no programming knowledge required, just a webcam or photos.

Build Models with Zero Coding Knowledge

Wow, I was beyond excited when a colleague told me about Microsoft's latest release - a tool (Lobe.ai) that lets you build a machine learning model without any programming knowledge!

At first, I was a bit skeptical and didn't want to believe it. I mean, who wouldn't be a little worried about their profession becoming obsolete? But I decided to give it a chance and I am so glad I did! I installed it and was blown away by the ease and simplicity of it all. This is truly a game-changer in the field of machine learning!

Train with your webcam

A must-watch video has just been made available that showcases how you can train a model using just a laptop. Trust me, this 10-minute video is worth your time.

In this video, you'll see a fascinating demonstration of creating a machine learning model with the help of a webcam, which detects whether you're drinking a glass of water. This is a great opportunity for you to learn about the power and potential of machine learning, so don't miss out!

Mask or no mask

As an entrepreneur without any programming experience, you may have a brilliant idea for using machine learning to improve safety in stores. Specifically, you envision a system that alerts store employees with a beep as soon as a person enters the store without a mask.

Although the idea is innovative and relevant, you may be hesitant to move forward with it due to a lack of programming knowledge. However, you'll be happy to know that there is a solution that can help you bring your idea to life.

Enter Lobe.ai - a powerful tool that allows you to create machine learning models without any programming experience. With Lobe, you can focus on marketing your idea and demonstrating its potential to stores. If there is interest, you can then easily recruit experienced developers to help you bring your vision to life.

This solution not only showcases the potential of machine learning, but also helps stores ensure the safety of their customers. By using Lobe to create a simple and effective system for detecting mask usage, you could be at the forefront of a new era of store safety and technology.


Just drag and drop

Imagine having a powerful machine learning tool at your fingertips that allows you to train models with just a few clicks of a button. That's exactly what Lobe offers - an intuitive and user-friendly platform that simplifies the process of creating machine learning models.

In this scenario, you collected 60 images of people, 30 with masks and 30 without. You created two separate folders labeled "Mask" and "No Mask" and then simply dragged and dropped the images into Lobe. It did the rest - automatically labeling each image and beginning the training process.

It was amazing to see how quickly and easily Lobe transformed your images into a powerful machine learning model. And the best part is that you didn't have to write a single line of code or have any programming knowledge. With Lobe, all you have to do is collect the data and let the platform do the work.

So if you're looking for an effortless way to get started with machine learning, look no further than Lobe. Just drag and drop your data, sit back, and watch as Lobe creates a model that can change the game for you and your business.


Offline capabilities

In today's fast-paced world, time is a valuable commodity. That's why Lobe offers a unique solution that enables you to train machine learning models directly on your computer, without having to upload your data to the cloud. This not only protects your privacy, but also ensures that your machine learning models are created and trained much faster.

Gone are the days of waiting half the time for your images or data to upload to a cloud-based platform. With Lobe, you can train your models locally, on your own computer, without sacrificing speed. This makes it ideal for individuals or businesses who need to process large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.`

In addition, Lobe's local capabilities also allow you to demonstrate your machine learning models to others, even if you don't have an internet connection. This is especially useful for businesses who may need to present their models in areas where internet connectivity is limited.


Training with Lobe

Training machine learning models can be a daunting task, especially for those who don't have a background in programming. But with Lobe, you'll find that training is easy, fun, and intuitive.

The Lobe interface is designed with simplicity in mind, making it easy to use even for those with no prior experience in machine learning. You'll find that the drag and drop feature, combined with the clear and straightforward labels, makes the training process a breeze.

Of course, no machine learning model is perfect, and there may be instances where some images require a bit of help. For example, you may come across an image of a man without a mask but with his hands covering his face. In such cases, all you have to do is either fix the label or delete the image, and Lobe will adjust the model accordingly.


Model types

Lobe supports the development of image classification models.

  • Image Classification - Accuracy or Speed.
  • Object Detection - Coming soon.
  • Data Classification - Coming soon.

Beta

This is a beta version, currently free. I always recommend checking the license.
