Course Outline

iOS ML Environment & Development Setup

  • Apple’s on-device ML architecture: CoreML, Vision, Speech, NaturalLanguage
  • Setting up the development environment: Anaconda, Python, Xcode, and Swift
  • Introduction to coremltools and the iOS ML conversion pipeline
  • Lab 1: Validate the macOS/Swift environment, set up Python/Anaconda, and verify Xcode command-line integration

Training Custom Models with Python & Popular ML Libraries

  • Model selection: When to use Keras/TensorFlow versus scikit-learn versus libsvm
  • Data preprocessing, training loops, and evaluation metrics in Python
  • Integrating Anaconda & Spyder for efficient model development and debugging
  • Handling legacy models: importing Caffe networks via coremltools
  • Lab 2: Train a custom classification/regression model in Python (Keras/scikit-learn) and export to .h5/.pkl

Converting Models to CoreML & iOS Integration

  • Using coremltools to convert TensorFlow, Keras, scikit-learn, libsvm, and Caffe models to .mlmodel
  • Inspecting CoreML models in Xcode: layers, inputs/outputs, precision, and optimization levels
  • Loading CoreML models in Swift: MLModel, MLFeatureProvider, and async inference
  • Lab 3: Convert a Python-trained model to CoreML, inspect it in Xcode, and load it in a Swift playground

Building iOS Intelligence with CoreML & Vision

  • Vision framework: face detection, object detection, text recognition, and barcode scanning
  • CoreGraphics integration: image preprocessing, ROI masking, and overlay rendering
  • GameplayKit: applying AI behavior trees, pathfinding, and game logic alongside ML in-app
  • Real-time inference optimization: multi-model pipelines, caching, and memory management
  • Lab 4: Implement a real-time image analysis feature using Vision + custom CoreML model + CoreGraphics overlay

Speech Recognition, NLP & Siri Integration

  • Speech framework: real-time speech-to-text, custom vocabulary, and language model injection
  • NaturalLanguage framework: tokenization, sentiment analysis, NER, and language identification
  • SiriKit & Shortcuts: adding voice commands, custom intents, and on-device Siri support
  • Privacy & security: CoreML sandboxing, data encryption, and on-device vs. cloud inference tradeoffs
  • Lab 5: Add voice commands, text analysis, and Siri Shortcuts to the iOS app

Capstone Project & App Deployment

  • End-to-end workflow: Python training → CoreML conversion → Swift UI → iOS deployment
  • Performance profiling: Instruments, CoreML diagnostics, and model quantization (FP16/INT8)
  • App Store guidelines for ML apps: size limits, privacy manifests, and on-device data handling
  • Capstone: Deploy a complete iOS app with a custom CoreML model, Vision processing, speech/NLP features, and Siri integration
  • Review, Q&A, & Next Steps: Scaling to SwiftUI, Core ML multi-modal, and MLOps for iOS
