TensorFlow model optimization: Quantization and pruning

Raziel Alverez is a senior staff engineer at Google, where he leads TensorFlow model optimization, aimed at making machine learning more efficient to deploy and execute. He’s a cofounder and engineering lead of TensorFlow Lite, and he developed the framework used to execute embedded ML models for Google’s speech recognition software (now in TensorFlow Lite) and lead the development of the latest iteration of the “Hey, Google” hotword recognizer. Previously, Raziel codesigned and implemented the Self-Assembling Interface Layer that forms the core of Appian’s (APPN) low-code development platform. He graduated summa cum laude from both the BS and master’s programs in computer science and machine learning at Mexico’s ITESM.
