While much of the focus for the recent developments in AI has been on cloud-centric implementations, there are many use cases where AI algorithms have to be run on small and resource constrained devices. Google’s TensorFlow Lite, a smaller brother of one of the world’s most popular Machine Learning frameworks, is focused on exactly that – running neural network inference on resource constrained devices. A more recent but very exciting…
