Course Description
In this intermediate-level course, you will learn about TensorFlow Lite and understand its capabilities for deep learning on resource-constrained devices. You’ll explore model conversion, optimization techniques, and deployment strategies to harness the power of deep learning on mobile and edge platforms.
You will learn about the model conversion process, understanding how to convert TensorFlow models into a format compatible with TensorFlow Lite. Through practical examples, you will gain hands-on experience in converting models for deployment on mobile and edge devices. We’ll cover topics such as model quantization, which reduces the model size and speeds up inference, and model pruning, which removes unnecessary weights for a sparse model representation. Learn how to leverage these techniques to optimize your models for real-world deployment scenarios.
With your optimized TensorFlow Lite models in hand, you will dive into the deployment strategies for mobile and edge devices. It’s important to understand the requirements and considerations for deploying models on both Android and iOS platforms. You’ll learn how to integrate TensorFlow Lite models into mobile applications and leverage hardware accelerators such as GPUs and Edge TPUs for improved performance.
In the final stages of the course, you will explore advanced topics in TensorFlow Lite, and discover how to handle special use cases such as running TensorFlow Lite models on microcontrollers and deploying models on edge devices with limited resources. You’ll gain insights into optimizing models for energy efficiency and handling privacy concerns when deploying deep learning models on mobile and edge platforms.
