Build & Host AI – ML Apps (Python) + 6 Real World Projects

AI landscape is evolving fast, though these are still early days for AI. The focus of AI has been more on building models and analyzing data, while users were asking for crisp outputs and self–use interactive applications. It’s not that the data science and AI community was not aware of these needs. The lack of web skills like javascript, html/css etc., became a roadblock. We can’t blame data scientists too since data science and web technologies are two separate streams of specializations. So, only a large team with a mix of data science and web technology specialists could build an AI app that users were looking for.

In summary, end users wanted a simple web app to view the results of AI algorithms and data scientists wanted a platform to build AI web apps easily & faster. Streamlit addressed both these needs perfectly.

I am going to demonstrate how to build a healthcare AI app (and few other examples) in less than 50 lines of code using streamlit platform. This covers AI/ML code as well as code for the app including the user interface. We will start with the functionalities of streamlit and then cover how to build and host web applications.
