I created a word tagging model in CreateML and am trying to make predictions with it using the following code: let text = "$30.00 7/1/2023" let model = TaggingModel() let input = TaggingModelInput(text: text) guard let output = try? model.prediction(input: input) else { fatalError("Unexpected runtime error.") } However, the output separates "$" and "30.00" as separate tokens as well as "7", "/", "1", "/", etc. Is there any way to make sure prices and dates get grouped together and to simply separate tokens based on whitespace? Any help is appreciated!

I'm following Apple WWDC video (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10037/) about how to create a recommendation model. But I'm getting this error when I run the project on that like of code from their tutorial. "Column keywords has element of unsupported type Dictionary<String, Double>." Here is the block of code took from the transcript of WWDC video that cause me issue: func featuresFromMealAndKeywords(meal: String, keywords: [String]) -> [String: Double] { // Capture interactions between content (the dish keywords) and context (meal) by // adding a copy of each keyword modified to include the meal. let featureNames = keywords + keywords.map { meal + ":" + $0 } // For each keyword, create an entry in a dictionary of features with a value of 1.0. return featureNames.reduce(into: [:]) { features, name in features[name] = 1.0 } } var trainingKeywords: [[String: Double]] = [] var trainingTargets: [Double] = [] for item in userPurchasedItems { // Add in the positive example. trainingKeywords.append( featuresFromMealAndKeywords(meal: item.meal, keywords: item.keywords)) trainingTargets.append(1.0) // Add in the negative example. let negativeKeywords = allKeywords.subtracting(item.keywords) trainingKeywords.append( featuresFromMealAndKeywords(meal: item.meal, keywords: Array(negativeKeywords))) trainingTargets.append(-1.0) } // Create the training data. var trainingData = DataFrame() trainingData.append(column: Column(name: "keywords" contents: trainingKeywords)) trainingData.append(column: Column(name: "target", contents: trainingTargets)) // Create the model. let model = try MLLinearRegressor(trainingData: trainingData, targetColumn: "target") Did DataFrame implementation changed since then and doesn't support Dictionary anymore? I'm at lost right now on how to reproduce their example.

I have converted an UIImage to MLShapedArray and by default this is NCHW format. I need to permute it into NCWH to prepare it for an ML model. What is the recommended way to achieve this ?

Hi. A17 Pro Neural Engine has 35 TOPS computational power. But many third-party benchmarks and articles suggest that it has a little more power than A16 Bionic. Some references are, Geekbench ML Core ML performance benchmark, 2023 edition How do we use the maximum power of A17 Pro Neural Engine? For example, I guess that logical devices of ANE on A17 Pro may be two, not one, so we may need to instantiate two Core ML models simultaneously for the purpose. Please let me know any technical hints.

Hi, I have a custom object detection CoreML model and I notice something strange when using the model with the Vision framework. I have tried two different approaches as to how to process an image and do inference on the CoreML model. The first one is using the CoreML "raw": initialising the model, getting the input image ready and using the model's .prediction() function to get the models output. The second one is using Vision to wrap the CoreML model in a VNCoreMLModel, creating a VNCoreMLRequest and using the VNImageRequestHandler to actually perform the model inference. The result of the VNCoreMLRequest is of type VNRecognizedObjectObservation. The issue I now face is in the difference in the output of both methods. The first method gives back the raw output of the CoreML model: confidence and coordinates. The confidence is an array with size equal to the number of classes in my model (3 in my case). The second method gives back the boundingBox, confidence and labels. However here the confidence is only the confidence for the most likely class (so size is equal to 1). But the confidence I get from the second approach is quite different from the confidence I get during the first approach. I can use either one of the approaches in my application. However, I really want to find out what is going on and understand how this difference occurred. Thanks!
