I share some simple strategies for any developer to quickly get started with Machine Learning, Cloud Development and more. I'll discuss Leonardo, Amazon API's, Google ML, and of course SAP API Management too.

2. Transforming UX

and SCP SDK for iOS

3. A Machine Learning app for:
Age, Gender, and Sentiment Analysis

6. Learning Points
• What is UX. Why Transform it?
• SCP SDK for iOS
• Leonardo ー Not a Ninja Turtle
• AI - How we can all get started now. (No PhD required)
• Bringing it all together - an example or 2.

7. What is UX?
The relationship between a human and the technology she uses

8. Typical relationship between
SAP and User:

9. UI
Colors
Fonts
Screens
Inputs
Buttons
Spacing
CSS - type things
iOS
UX
Emotions
Interactions
Flow
Goals
ML

10. Fiori has really changed things
• 8000+ Apps
• Design Standards
• Technology (that is growing)
The default UI for all of SAP
applications, most importantly S/4
HANA

11. Still some flaws in Fiori:
Performance
True mobility
Limited experts

12. From Fiori -> Fiori for iOS
What is it?
• A Wizard!
• A bunch of cool controls.
• Design Guidelines
• Training
* it is only for SCPms -- (I’ll show you why)

13. SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS
https://cloudplatform.sap.com/capabilities/mobile/ios-sdk.html

14. SCP SDK for iOS I - Let’s start!
1. Create an OData service on Gateway (HR Days off)
2. Setup SCP Trial Edition (or get your own of course)
3. Setup cloud connector
4. Turn on mobile services.
5. Create a new app with destination to this service
6. Use a Mac (duh).
7. Download the wizard.
8. Connect and create the app and deploy to your phone. (see?)

ate%20eq%20%2720171105%27%20and%20EndDate%20eq%20%2720171118%27&sap-client=100
Hint: If you have Fiori, you can grab an
OData service from any app - just go to
the catalog.

16. Setup the mobile app on SAP SCPms

17. Download the SDK and install and run
You get the SDK here:
https://store.sap.com/sap/cp/ui/resources/stor
e/html/SolutionDetails.html?pid=0000014485
Since you are probably developing for iOS 11
now, use Xcode 9.1 beta 2 —

18. Build the app

20. SCP SDK for iOS II
SAP Fiori Mentor App:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/
sap-fiori-
mentor/id1215284965?mt=8

21. SCP SDK for iOS III
• Offline—no connection needed
• Push—tell me what’s happening
• Logging—tell nerds what’s happening

22. SCP SDK for iOS IV - Cargill Example

23. SAP Leonardo—What SAP Says I
“SAP Leonardo is a holistic digital innovation system that
seamlessly integrates future-facing technologies and capabilities
into the SAP Cloud Platform, using our Design Thinking Services.
This powerful portfolio enables you to rapidly innovate, scale new
models, and continually redefine your business.”
-SAP’s “What is SAP Leonardo?”
slide deck

25. SAP Leonardo — Um
What?

26. SAP Leonardo — GQ: Demystified
• A platform for innovation
• A set of technology capabilities
• Industry templates
• Love the direction -- but more to come :)

27. SAP Leonardo—For Today?
SAP’s “What is SAP Leonardo?” slide deck

28. SAP Leonardo—Machine Learning
• Services:
–They’re there
–They’re alpha
• Product components:
–Resume matching in
Fieldglass
–CoPilot in Fiori 2.0
–Service Ticketing in Hybris
Cloud for Customer

29. What is Machine Learning?
Getting the computer to do something useful, without explicitly
programming it to do it.
This can lead to incredible UX!

30. AI is Everywhere
• iOS Photos - iOS 11 image
recognition in the background.
• Uber - Surge pricing
• Alexa / Siri / Google Home -
NLP
• Facebook - Tagging friends
Snapchat - Lenses
• Amazon - Related products

31. Machine Learning - For the Rest of Us
1. Use existing API’s (Like Leonardo)
2. Use a pre-trained model from the net
3. Train your own model from public data
4. Train your own model on your own data with wizards
5. (After that, it gets hard)

32. Existing API’s
• https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-
services/directory/ <- 29 APIs (Free Tier)
• https://api.sap.com/shell/discover/contentpackage/SAPLeonard
oMLFunctionalServices/?section=ARTIFACTS <- 12 API’s (Trial
Versions)
• https://cloud.google.com/products/machine-learning/ <- 7 APIs
(Free Tier)
• https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-ai/?nc2=h_l3_ai <- 3 API’s
• https://www.ibm.com/watson/products-services/ <- 13 API’s

33. Easiest - use a pre-trained model:
Apple CoreML
Example: Inception v3
Detects the dominant objects present in an
image from a set of 1000 categories such
as trees, animals, food, vehicles, people,
and more.
● View original model details
● Download Core ML Model (94.7 MB)
AWS Celebrity Spotter
https://console.aws.amazon.com/re
kognition/home?region=us-east-1#

34. Use public data
• Use data, and create your
OWN API.
• Check out all these data
sets (392!)
http://archive.ics.uci.edu/m
l/index.php
• https://www.openml.org/se
arch?type=data
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wik
i/List_of_datasets_for_ma
chine_learning_research

35. Train a model with wizards
• First we need a pile of data. Export your HR time off data (CSV):

36. Train a model with wizards
• Next upload that data to AWS S3, then try it out!

37. Train a model with wizards
• A new API is born!
Try switching around a few variables, works nicely.

38. After that - it gets harder

39. TensorFlow example
• From Google
Tutorials:
https://www.tensorflow
.org/tutorials/image_re
cognition
• ~/tensorflow-mnist-
tutorial/python3
mnist_1.0_softmax.py

40. Move TensorFlow Model to SCP
• Build TensorFlow model
locally.
• Build web api’s around it.
• Get CloudFoundry
• Push and test API
• Wire through API Management
or SCPms and connect to iOS
SDK
https://account.hanatrial.ondeman
d.com/cockpit#/home/overview
* https://github.com/cgrotz/tensorflow-cloudfoundy

41. Cool - How about an example?
• Download calendar data.
• Upload to a ML wizard and
create endpoints.
• Build an iOS app with SDK
as starting point.
• Connect live to calendars
and continue training.
Next: Connect to calendars and
project data in SF + HCM.

44. Summary
• Transforming work through UX is the goal. UI is part of it.
• Fiori for iOS adds new great mobile capabilities from cloud.
• Leonardo is an innovation platform of tools.
• ML is part of AI, and it’s easy to get started.
ML will have an incredible impact on UX transformation.
