Azure Cognitive Services is again our focus this month, but this time we focus on Custom Vision (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/services/cognitive-services/custom-vision-service/). We'll see how you can build your own custom classifier and then export the model so you can use it with CoreML on iOS.
