Lobe

Lobe is a visual machine-learning platform where users can train models without knowing how to write code. Microsoft acquired Lobe, Inc., the company that developed it, in 2018. With Lobe's user-friendly interface, users may label and train models with their data utilizing transfer learning and other approaches. The platform makes machine learning more accessible to a wider range of users, including designers, artists, and those with minimal coding knowledge, by removing much of the complexity of the technology. Users can export their models for use in various applications, including image recognition, object identification, and unique task automation, once they have finished training them. 

How it works?

Bring in the data that you wish to use to train your machine first. That could be text, images, or other types of data. Then, explain to Lobe the meaning of each piece of data. For example, if you were teaching it to recognize fruits, you would label pictures of apples, grapes, and other fruits. Lobe trains the model using the labeled data you provide. You can test your model to determine its effectiveness after training. You can export your model if you are satisfied with its performance. You can use it for activities like word comprehension and object recognition in other apps or devices.

Who can use it?

Researchers:  Researchers in various fields who require data analysis or machine learning model development to assist their work.

AI Enthusiasts:  Individuals interested in machine learning models for enjoyment or personal projects and have a broad interest in artificial intelligence.

Creators:  Those who wish to use machine learning in their creative work, such as designers, artists, and enthusiasts, without mastering complicated coding.

Business owners:  Small business owners and entrepreneurs who wish to use machine learning without paying professional engineers for data analysis or picture recognition.

Educators:  Instructors and teachers who want to give their students a practical, approachable introduction to machine learning ideas.

How to access it?

Go to the Lobe website to access the Lobe and download the setup file for the desktop version. Download and install the app on your Mac or Windows computer. Open the Lobe application after installation. Use your Microsoft account to log in, or register for a new one if you don't already have one. Using Lobe's user-friendly visual interface, create and train your machine-learning models by following the instructions on-screen. Your model is automatically trained by Lobe using the labeled examples. After that, you can use photos to train your model, improve its predictions, and export it to your app so it can be used.
