Check out our talks at WWDC 2019 and at WWDC 2018!

Turi Create simplifies the development of custom machine learning models. You don't have to be a machine learning expert to add recommendations, object detection, image classification, image similarity or activity classification to your app.

  • Easy-to-use: Focus on tasks instead of algorithms
  • Visual: Built-in, streaming visualizations to explore your data
  • Flexible: Supports text, images, audio, video and sensor data
  • Fast and Scalable: Work with large datasets on a single machine
  • Ready To Deploy: Export models to Core ML for use in iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps

With Turi Create, you can accomplish many common ML tasks:

ML Task Description
Recommender Personalize choices for users
Image Classification Label images
Drawing Classification Recognize Pencil/Touch Drawings and Gestures
Sound Classification Classify sounds
Object Detection Recognize objects within images
One Shot Object Detection Recognize 2D objects within images using a single example
Style Transfer Stylize images
Activity Classification Detect an activity using sensors
Image Similarity Find similar images
Classifiers Predict a label
Regression Predict numeric values
Clustering Group similar datapoints together
Text Classifier Analyze sentiment of messages

Example: Image classifier with a few lines of code

If you want your app to recognize specific objects in images, you can build your own model with just a few lines of code:

import turicreate as tc

# Load data 
data = tc.SFrame('photoLabel.sframe')

# Create a model
model = tc.image_classifier.create(data, target='photoLabel')

# Make predictions
predictions = model.predict(data)

# Export to Core ML
model.export_coreml('MyClassifier.mlmodel')

It's easy to use the resulting model in an iOS application:

Supported Platforms

Turi Create supports:

  • macOS 10.12+
  • Linux (with glibc 2.10+)
  • Windows 10 (via WSL)

System Requirements

Turi Create requires:

  • Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7
  • x86_64 architecture
  • At least 4 GB of RAM

Installation

For detailed instructions for different varieties of Linux see LINUX_INSTALL.md. For common installation issues see INSTALL_ISSUES.md.

We recommend using virtualenv to use, install, or build Turi Create.

pip install virtualenv

The method for installing Turi Create follows the standard python package installation steps. To create and activate a Python virtual environment called venv follow these steps:

# Create a Python virtual environment
cd ~
virtualenv venv

# Activate your virtual environment
source ~/venv/bin/activate

Alternatively, if you are using Anaconda, you may use its virtual environment:

conda create -n virtual_environment_name anaconda
conda activate virtual_environment_name

To install Turi Create within your virtual environment:

(venv) pip install -U turicreate

Documentation

The package User Guide and API Docs contain more details on how to use Turi Create.
