Free Online Resources To Get A Comprehensive Understanding Of TinyMLBIG Data

Posted on September 29, 2020 by Livio Andrea Acerbo

W3Schools


Being one of the fastest developing deep learning aspects, TinyML has immense possibilities in areas where it is required to deploy a model that works on small and low power devices. Starting from imagery micro-satellite, tracking wildlife for conservation to detecting crop ailments, animal illnesses and predicting wildfires, TinyML comes with many possibilities. Not only it enables low-latency inference at edge devices consuming less power but also allows ML applications to run at edge intelligence.

‘OK, Google’ has been one of the renowned applications of TinyML, that works on everybody’s smartphones. With such applications in hand, along with software frameworks like TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers, it has become extremely easy to deploy TinyML models. Along with that, Tiny ML also comes with capabilities to support private machine learning applications and can work without any internet connection on edge devices.

With TinyML gaining massive traction in the industry, it has become critical for ML practitioners to get a comprehensive understanding of this aspect of deep learning. Here, we will share free online resources to get hands-on TinyML.

1| The “Hello World” of TinyML

By: O’Reilly

About: This tutorial will focus on building and training a TinyML model from scratch and then integrate the same into a simple microcontroller program. The tutorial will be using Keras to train the tiny model, and the learners will be able to train, evaluate and convert a TensorFlow deep learning network that can produce accurate output. It will start with obtaining a simple dataset, followed by training the deep learning model and evaluating its performance and then convert the same to the run-on device. Once the code has been built in binary, it can then be deployed on to a microcontroller.

2| Training a Model for Arduino in TensorFlow

By: DigiKey

About: This tutorial will teach how to create a neural network that can predict an accurate output of the sine function. Once that is done, the model will then be converted into a TFLite Model and examine the same using Netron. With this tutorial, learners will be able to load the model and use it for inference with the TFLite for Microcontrollers library. Along with that, it will also help learners to get started with Colab for deploying microcontrollers.
