What types of AI does PerceptiLabs support?

PerceptiLabs specializes in computer vision applications, but is also able to build models based on data in a CSV format, such as text analysis, regression, etc.

What GPUs does PerceptiLabs support for GPU-accelerated machine learning?

PerceptiLabs supports Nvidia GPUs. Note that since Mac use ATI GPUs, GPU-accelerated machine learning is not supported on that platform.

How can I deploy a model to a production environment that was built with PerceptiLabs?

Currently you can export your model as a TensorFlow model. When you export your model, you can just deploy it to a TensorFlow server, if you have that set up. See this forum topic for an example of how to run an exported model.

What Version of TensorFlow does PerceptiLabs use?

PerceptiLabs v0.12.x uses TensorFlow 2.x. Prior versions use TensorFlow 1.x. See our change log for more information.

What type(s) of AI does PerceptiLabs support?

PerceptiLabsallows you to build models using deep learning (neural networks) like Convolution Neural Networks, as well as simple methods like linear regression.

Does the data used in PerceptiLabs app stay in the app or it uploaded to some server?

Your data does not go to any server in the desktop version. The data we collect (e.g. error logs and similar) is used to fix bugs and improve the user experience.

What data file formats are supported in PerceptiLabs’ Data Wizard?

PerceptiLabs' Data Wizard reads in CSV files which map data (e.g., image files) to labels.

Why does PerceptiLabs not open in a browser after I execute PerceptiLabs on the command line?

This can happen if another application or service that is already running on your local machine is using port 5000, 8000, 8011, and/or 8080. Be sure to first close that application or service before running PerceptiLabs.

Why does PerceptiLabs fail to run on WSL?

If you've just installed PerceptiLabs on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) you must first stop and restart WSL before PerceptiLabs will run correctly.

The GPU version of PerceptiLabs (perceptilabs-gpu package) does not work with WSL.

Why are previews not visible in some components and/or statistics panes?

On some machines this can be caused by an incorrect mime-type for .js files on Windows 10. Check out this forum response for a work around.
