Recent developments in machine learning engendered many algorithms designed to solve diverse problems. More complicated tasks can be solved since numerous features included in much larger datasets are extracted by deep learning architectures. The prevailing transfer learning method in recent years enables researchers and engineers to conduct experiments within limited computing and time constraints. In this paper, we evaluated traditional machine learning, deep learning and transfer learning

... hodologies to compare their characteristics by training and testing on a butterfly dataset, and determined the optimal model to deploy in an Android application. The application can detect the category of a butterfly by either capturing a real-time picture of a butterfly or choosing one picture from the mobile gallery.
