Is it Food? An Introduction to Machine Learning
summary
A practical walkthrough shows an image classifier built with TensorFlow and Inception v3, retrained via transfer learning on folders of images (roughly 1–2k images per food class, ~600 for text), packaged as a Python Flask service that a Rails app calls. The retrain script runs slowly but produces a graph + labels and yields about 98% accuracy in production for their use case; code and pitfalls (Docker, compilers, async vs sync) are demonstrated.
