Wow, great writeup. This is an area that I know nothing about but have wanted to learn - seems like this post is a good starting point. Any chance the full source will ever be opened up? Would be an excellent companion to the article.

That’s not in the cards, at least at the moment, although if we get enough requests for it, I may be able to convince the powers that be…

In the meantime, iff there are any details you’d like to see, don’t hesitate to chime in and I’ll try to respond with details!

great app! any plan to open source it?

Not at the moment — although you’ll find the most critical aspects explained in detail in the post. The rest I fear will age very quickly… With stuff like CoreML and TensorFlow Lite on the immediate horizon, I can’t imagine people will want or need to use the cumbersome manual approach I had to use to ship this app. Anything in particular you’d like to see? I can try to share it in a follow-up post or in comments her…

I have a quick question on this. The blog post mentions that you guys went with CONV-BATCHNORM-ACTIVATION (still unsure on whether this is the better order), but in the model code that is posted the batchnorm and activations are the other way around. Which ordering did you end up using?

Just want to say, awesome post. Its amazing how quickly you created this.

Thanks for the kind words! To prevent impostor syndrome, I should clarify that I worked on the app for many, many months — basically since August of last year — as a nights/weekends thing. It’s true that the final version was built almost from scratch in a few weeks, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the time investment in the preceding months. Although for the most part I just wasted a lot of time because I had no idea what I was doing lol (still don’t)

Why is this not available outside the US and Canada?

So the long version of this story is that the app was released in partnership with the HBO Go / HBO Now team, and using the terms of service they used for these apps (which are only available in the US & Canada). We’ve been working with lawyers to release the app worldwide without running afoul of any local laws, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that will get cleared this week, we just gotta make sure our terms of…

Do you have a special algorithm to determine Canada/US and not Canada/US.

Ooops, good catch — I had posted the wrong definition. Corrected now! It was convolution, batch norm, then elu activation.

:D now, that would be an app worth investing in

Their neural network localizes your submitted hotdog images. To get around the block, try showing it a Canadian hotdog.
