Exploring Natural Language

Thumbnail

This project is a Swift Playground that explains core machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) concepts and showcases Apple's new Natural Language framework through a visually appealing experience. Some of the technologies used were CoreML, UIKit, PlaygroundBook, CreateML and the framework itself, along with three different publicly available datasets.

A demo of the project running on iPad is available here on Youtube.

I used this project as a submission to the WWDC19 Scholarships program and it was accepted. As a reward, I got to attend WWDC 2019 with my travel expenses covered by Apple and meet the engineers who built the frameworks we use daily.
