Creating A Service - Build An Image Classifier with IBM Watson - Part 2

Key Takeaways

step2 to building your own image recognition classifier now that you've got your IBM ID is to generate a service so assuming you've got your ID all generated and set up you've got your credentials head over to console dot bluemix.net forward slash catalog so from here we can access all of the IBM cloud services so things like hadoop big insights the visual recognition API what's an assistant so to build chat pods everything that's on IBM cloud is accessible through here so once you've got those IBM ID credentials you can actually do quite a fair bit so now that we've done that we're gonna step in and actually to start taking a look at the platform alrighty so if we come over to here and hit AI now you can see you've got what's an assistant open scale discovery a whole bunch of other stuff what we're actually interested in is the visual recognition bit so we're gonna hit visual recognition and from here we can create our service now a service is just an instance on this platform so it's something that we're going to be using and connecting to to actually test whether or not our image classification in order to use that image classifier so what we're gonna do here is we're gonna change the service name we're gonna say our first image recognition so this we can change a region resource route leave that as it is and you can see there's a bunch of features here now what's actually quite important is down here you've got two different pricing plans so you've got light and standard now what's really important here is that light is free standard actually starts incurring costs so the light plan is more than enough if you're just getting started if you want to start building production scale models then you might start taking a look at the standard plan but for now lights more than enough for getting up and running so once you here I just hit create and that's your service created
