tinyML Talks Singapore: Introduction to ScaleDown: An Open Source Initiative

“Introduction to ScaleDown: An Open Source Initiative”

ScaleDown is an Open-Source Neural Network Optimization framework that aims to reduce the difficulty in optimizing and deploying models to TinyML devices. We do this while providing a framework-agnostic API that supports commonly used deep learning frameworks. As new optimization techniques are invented, we study them and add their implementation to our framework so that hobbyists, researchers, and industry practitioners can use them in their projects. Finally, at ScaleDown, we believe in progressing the field by doing research, giving free education, and training budding hardware and software engineers in TinyML. To that end, we conduct study groups and workshops, publish blogs, and are working on two free TinyML books.

This talk will be our first of the study group involving :
1. Introduction to ScaleDown
2. Current Popular Frameworks in TinyML
3. TinyMLOps System
4. How ScaleDown is helping to bridge the gap
5. How can you get involved?
