Introductioin
MATLAB offers a lot of tools designed for developing artificial intelligence applications. From deep learning and computer vision to reinforcement learning and text analytics. In addition, MATLAB provides a collection of pretrained networks that help start projects, particularly in image and signal processing.
MATLAB provides several AI capabilities, including:
- Building AI models using few lines of code or using pre-trained models
- Facilitating seamless AI model and design integration between MATLAB and Python
- Utilizing specialized tools and low-code applications to create scalable AI workflows
- Deploying AI models on high-performance platforms like edge devices and the cloud
- Integrating AI with system-level simulations to prevent production errors
Some of the key toolboxes used in AI and machine learning workflows include:
Deep Learning Toolbox
Previously known as Neural Network Toolbox; provides algorithms, pre‑built models, and apps for deep learning.
Reinforcement Learning Toolbox
Offers functions and apps to design and train reinforcement learning agents.
Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
Contains tools for traditional machine learning techniques and statistical analysis.
Computer Vision Toolbox
Enables designing and testing computer vision, 3D vision, and video processing algorithms.
Text Analytics Toolbox
Provides algorithms and tools to work with unstructured text data for natural language processing.
MATLAB® AI Toolboxes
1. DEEP LEARNING TOOLBOX
Description:
Formerly known as the Neural Network Toolbox, the Deep Learning Toolbox provides algorithms, network layers, pretrained models, and apps to design, train, analyze and simulate deep neural networks. It provides a framework which can be used to create many types of networks like CNNs. It offers the possibility to visualise and interpret network predictions very the network properties and compress neural networks.With the Deep Network Designer app, you can design, modify, and analyze networks, import pre-trained models, and export networks to Simulink. The toolbox also supports integration with other deep learning frameworks, allowing you to import models from PyTorch®, TensorFlow™, and ONNX™ for inference, transfer learning, simulation, and deployment. Additionally, you can export models to TensorFlow and ONNX.
