ZIR Semantic Search VS ML Kit (by Google)

Hi Dmitry, I am cofounder of ZIR AI (https://zir-ai.com/). I researched neural information retrieval at Google, before starting ZIR in 2020. (Note: Vespa, who appear in your article, reference some of my work in [1]) To give you some historical perspective, embedding based retrieval on large text corpora became viable only after the introduction of transformers in 2017.

The biggest difference between the two plugins is the SDK used to recognise the barcodes. The Capacitor Community Barcode Scanner plugin currently uses the ZXing decoder and the Capacitor ML Kit Barcode Scanning plugin uses the ML Kit from Google. Source: 12 months ago

Assuming you're talking about leveraging the device's the device's Tensor Processing unit for machine learning then there then you're in luck because Google designed the TPU to work extremely well with the machine learning solutions developed by Google such as easy to use SDKs, robust runtimes and APIs ( e.g. - which you probably aren't going to need to touch). If you're a researcher there's plenty of lower level... Source: about 1 year ago

Thanks. The name of the ML package is "ML Kit". This one: https://developers.google.com/ml-kit. Source: almost 2 years ago

Mind you, this is still just subset of ML that I implemented. We still do not know the magical dust some manufacturers are doing with ML like capturing multiple pictures and recomposing into singular image, voice recognition, etc etc. MLKit itself is covers a large area of features and still growing. You don't want it performance to be capped to CPU which might be already doing other power-limited task for example. Source: about 2 years ago
