  • "In order to train a machine learning model for license plate detection, which is essentially image recognition, I would first need a large labeled dataset of images featuring license plates. From hereon, I would use a model architecture suitable for image-related tasks, like CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks). When it comes to deploying the model, I would first optimize it, aiming for the best balance between speed and accuracy. Depending on the specifications, the model could be deployed eith"

  • "Depends on what the ML model. If it's computationally heavy server side is best. If it's not, client side could be feasible, think of Apple Photos doing object recognition of photos on device, in this instance, the photos are on the device a long time and users are fine with waiting. So the use case important to consider. However broadly speaking, server side is most likely the best solution especially for this many users. Easier architecture to implement Example - client side you take"
