VNCoreMLTransform - request failed
Keep getting error : I have tried Picker for File, Photo Library , both same results . Debugging the resize for 360x360 but still facing this error. The model I'm trying to implement is created with CreateMLComponents The process is from example of WWDC 2022 Banana Ripeness , I have used index for each .jpg . Prediction Failed: The VNCoreMLTransform request failed Is there some possible way to solve it or is error somewhere in training of model ?

Embedding model missing once transferred to Xcode
I've created a "Transfer Learning BERT Embeddings" model with the default "Latin" language family and "Automatic" Language setting. This model performs exceptionally well against the test data set and functions as expected when I preview it in Create ML. However, when I add it to the Xcode project of the application to which I am deploying it, I am getting runtime errors that suggest it can't find the embedding resources: Failed to locate assets for 'mul_Latn' - '5C45D94E-BAB4-4927-94B6-8B5745C46289' embedding model Note, I am adding the model to the app project the same way that I added an earlier "Maximum Entropy" model. That model had no runtime issues. So it seems there is an issue getting hold of the embeddings at runtime. For now, "runtime" means in the Simulator. I intend to deploy my application to iOS devices once GM 26 is released (the app also uses AFM). I'm developing on Tahoe 26 beta, running on iOS 26 beta, using Xcode 26 beta. Is this a known/expected issue? Are the embeddings expected to be a resource in the model? Is there a workaround? I did try opening the model in Xcode and saving it as an mlpackage, then adding that to my app project, but that also didn't resolve the issue.

unable to run tensorflow on my machine
Hello! I've been trying to run tensorflow on my MBA M3. I previously had an Intel Mac and was able to run tensorflow without any problem. I've been working on a personal project in a directory I made on my previous Mac, that I was running through Jupyter notebook. Now every time I try to run the code, the kernel will die and I'm unsure what to do. I tried following tutorials, but every tutorial I've seen has made me create a new environment to access Jupyter Notebook, but not letting me access notebooks and files that have already been created. I tried to run this following command in terminal and received the subsequent error back. python -m pip install tensorflow-metal ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-metal (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow-metal I've installed miniforge, Xcode, and anaconda onto my computer already and wanted some assistance.

Source Files from the Session number 424 WWDC2019
In the 2019 WWDC session Training Object Detection Models in Create ML a JSON file named: annotations_832_newdice_copy.json was show alongside with the images folder named: Dice Training Images Two Sets. Are these resources made available for devs ? I am looking to understand whether the 6000 annotations were needed to be done manually ? Meaning, they have annotated around 1000 images making 6 labels on each manually to achieve this source ? Video shows around 1000 images. Can someone please clarify.

Create ML how to handle polygon annotations?
I have images, and I annotated with polygon, actually simple trapezoid, so 4 points. I have been trying and trying but can't get Create ML to work. I am trying Object Detection. I am not a real programmer so really would greatly appreciate some guidance to help to get this model created. I think I made a Detectron2 model, and tried to get that converted into a mlmodel I need for xcode but had troubles there also. thank you. { "annotation": "IMG_1803.JPG", "annotations": [ { "label": "court", "coordinates": { "x": [ 187, 3710, 2780, 929 ], "y": [ 1689, 1770, 478, 508 ] } } ] },

CoreML model for news scoring
Is it possible to train a model using CreateML to infer a relevance numeric score of a news article based on similar trained data, something like a sentiment score ? I created a Text Classifier that assigns a category label which works perfect but I would like a solution that calculates a numeric value, not a label.

Correct JSON format for CoreMotion data for ActivityClassification purposes
I’m developing an activity classifier that I’d like to input using the JSON format of CoreMotion data. I am getting the error: Unable to parse /Users/DewG/Downloads/Testing/Step1/Testing.json. It does not appear to be in JSON record format. A SequenceType of dictionaries is expected I've verified that the format I am using is JSON via various JSON validators, so I am expecting I'm just holding it wrong. Is there an example of a JSON file with CoreMotion data that I can model after?

CreateML crashes with Unexpected Error on Feature Extraction
Note: I posted this to the feedback assistant but haven't gotten a response for 3months =( FB13482199 I am trying to train a large image classifier. I have a training run for ~300000 images. Each image has a folder and the file names within the folders are somewhat random. 381 classes. I am on an M2 Pro, Sonoma 14.0 running CreateML Version 5.0 (121.1). I would prefer not to pursue the pytorch/HF -> coremltools route. CreateML seems to consistently crash ~25000-30000 images in during the feature extraction phase with "Unexpected Error". It does not seem to be due to an out of memory issue. I am looking for some guidance since it seems impossible to debug why this is consistently crashing. My initial assumption was that it could be due to blank/corrupt files. I do not think that is the case. I also checked if there were any special characters in the data/folders. I wasn't able to go through all, but did try some programatic regex. Don't think this is the case either. I attached the sysdiagnose results in feedback assistant after the crash happened. I did notice when going into /var/logs there was some write issue saying that Mac had written too much to disk. Note: I also tried Xcode 15.2-beta this time and the associated CoreML version. My questions: How can I fix this? How should I go about debugging CreateML errors in the future? 'Unexpected Error' - where can I go about getting the exact createml logs on my device? This is far too broad of an error statement Please let me know. As a note, I did successfully train a past model on ~100000 images. I am planning to 10-15x that if this run is successful. Please help, spent a lot of time gathering the extra data and to date have been an occasional power user of createml. Haven't heard back from Apple since December =/. I assume I'm not the only one with this problem, so looking for any instructions to hands on debug and help others. Thx!

WWDC24 - What's New in Create ML - Time Series Forecasting
The What’s New in Create ML session in WWDC24 went into great depth with time-series forecasting models (beginning at: 15:14) and mentioned these new models, capabilities, and tools for iOS 18. So, far, all I can find is API documentation. I don’t see any other session in WWDC24 covering these new time-series forecasting Create ML features. Is there more substance/documentation on how to use these with Create ML? Maybe I am looking in the wrong place but I am fairly new with ML. Are there any food truck / donut shop demo/sample code like in the video? It is of great interest to get ahead of the curve on this within business applications that may take advantage of this with inventory / ordering data.

Creating .mlmodel with Create ML Components
I have rewatched WWDC22 a few times , but still not getting full understanding how to get .mlmodel model file type from components . Example with banana ripeness is cool , but what need to be added to actually have output of .mlmodel , is somewhere full sample code for this type of modular project ? Code is from [https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10019) import CoreImage import CreateMLComponents struct ImageRegressor { static let trainingDataURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "~/Desktop/bananas") static let parametersURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "~/Desktop/parameters") static func train() async throws -> some Transformer<CIImage, Float> { let estimator = ImageFeaturePrint() .appending(LinearRegressor()) // File name example: banana-5.jpg let data = try AnnotatedFiles(labeledByNamesAt: trainingDataURL, separator: "-", index: 1, type: .image) .mapFeatures(ImageReader.read) .mapAnnotations({ Float($0)! }) let (training, validation) = data.randomSplit(by: 0.8) let transformer = try await estimator.fitted(to: training, validateOn: validation) try estimator.write(transformer, to: parametersURL) return transformer } } I have tried to run it in Mac OS command line type app, Swift-UI but most what I had as output was .pkg with "pipeline.json, parameters, optimizer.json, optimizer"

CreateML json format
I'm trying to generate a json for my training data, tried manually first and then tried using roboflow and I still get the same error: _annotations.createml.json file contains field "Index 0" that is not of type String. the json format provided by roboflow was [{"image":"menu1_jpg.rf.44dfacc93487d5049ed82952b44c81f7.jpg","annotations":[{"label":"100","coordinates":{"x":497,"y":431.5,"width":32,"height":10}}]}] any help would be greatly appreciated

CoreML 6 beta 2 - Failed to create CVPixelBufferPool
Hello everyone, I am trying to train using CreateML Version 6.0 Beta (146.1), feature extractor Image Feature Print v2. I am using 100K images for a total ~4GB on my M3 Max 48GB (MacOs 15.0 Beta (24A5279h)) The images seems to be correctly read and visualized in the Data Source section (no images with corrupted data seems to be there). When I start the training it's all fine for the first 6k ~ 7k pictures, then I receive the following error: Failed to create CVPixelBufferPool. Width = 0, Height = 0, Format = 0x00000000 It is the first time I am using it, so I don't really have so much of experience. Could you help me to understand what could be the problem? Thanks a lot

How to Fine-Tune the SNSoundClassifier for Custom Sound Classification in iOS?
Hi Apple Developer Community, I’m exploring ways to fine-tune the SNSoundClassifier to allow users of my iOS app to personalize the model by adding custom sounds or adjusting predictions. While Apple’s WWDC session on sound classification explains how to train from scratch, I’m specifically interested in using SNSoundClassifier as the base model and building/fine-tuning on top of it. Here are a few questions I have: 1. Fine-Tuning on SNSoundClassifier: Is there a way to fine-tune this model programmatically through APIs? The manual approach using macOS, as shown in this documentation is clear, but how can it be done dynamically - within the app for users or in a cloud backend (AWS/iCloud)? Are there APIs or classes that support such on-device/cloud-based fine-tuning or incremental learning? If not directly, can the classifier’s embeddings be used to train a lightweight custom layer? Training is likely computationally intensive and drains too much on battery, doing it on cloud can be right way but need the right apis to get this done. A sample code will do good. 2. Recommended Approach for In-App Model Customization: If SNSoundClassifier doesn’t support fine-tuning, would transfer learning on models like MobileNetV2, YAMNet, OpenL3, or FastViT be more suitable? Given these models (SNSoundClassifier, MobileNetV2, YAMNet, OpenL3, FastViT), which one would be best for accuracy and performance/efficiency on iOS? I aim to maintain real-time performance without sacrificing battery life. Also it is important to see architecture retention and accuracy after conversion to CoreML model. 3. Cost-Effective Backend Setup for Training: Mac EC2 instances on AWS have a 24-hour minimum billing, which can become expensive for limited user requests. Are there better alternatives for deploying and training models on user request when s/he uploads files (training data)? 4. TensorFlow vs PyTorch: Between TensorFlow and PyTorch, which framework would you recommend for iOS Core ML integration? TensorFlow Lite offers mobile-optimized models, but I’m also curious about PyTorch’s performance when converted to Core ML. 5. Metrics: Metrics I have in mind while picking the model are these: Publisher, Accuracy, Fine-Tuning capability, Real-Time/Live use, Suitability of iPhone 16, Architectural retention after coreML conversion, Reasons for unsuitability, Recommended use case. Any insights or recommended approaches would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
