Pete Warden — Practical Applications of TinyML

Gradient Dissent: Conversations on AI

Pete is the Technical Lead of the TensorFlow Micro team, which works on deep learning for mobile and embedded devices.

Lukas and Pete talk about hacking a Raspberry Pi to run AlexNet, the power and size constraints of embedded devices, and techniques to reduce model size. Pete also explains real world applications of TensorFlow Lite Micro and shares what it's been like to work on TensorFlow from the beginning.
