What you'll learn

  • Explore Swift for TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite and learn how to use them to prepare your model for mobile and write code that executes it on a variety of different platforms

Description

Machine learning tools are so important that they deserve a first-class language and a compiler. Swift for TensorFlow combines the flexibility of eager execution with the high performance of graphs and sessions. Behind the scenes, Swift analyzes your Tensor code and automatically builds graphs for you. It also catches type errors and shape mismatches before running your code, has the ability to import any Python library, and has language-integrated automatic differentiation.

TensorFlow Lite is a lightweight machine learning framework that can do inference on a variety of mobile and small devices, from mobile phones to Raspberry Pis and microcontrollers. It also provides a simple abstraction that allows you to access AI accelerators.

Richard Wei and Andrew Selle discuss both frameworks, covering the current status of development and the latest developments. You’ll learn how to prepare your model for mobile and how to write code that executes it on a variety of different platforms.

This session is sponsored by Google.
