Deep Learning Inference

Cat!

No Backpropagation

Inference Essentials

MBComputing Time Memory Usage

Shorten the prediction time is always welcome

Device memory is limited, but deep learning model can

be huge

Techniques To Make AI Affordable

Inference Researches

Weight Storage Hardware Usage

Reduce weight storage size without sacrificing accuracy

Utilize computing components (CPU, GPU, etc.) as many as possible

simultaneously

Binarized Neural Networks, http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.02830 | XNOR-Net, http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.05279 | DoReFa-Net, https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.06160 | DeepX, http://niclane.org/pubs/deepx_ipsn.pdf

Approaches

Speed up

Low-level speed up

Nvidia TensorRTLike a model compiler

Production Deep Learning with NVIDIA GPU Inference Engine, https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/production-deep-learning-nvidia-gpu-inference-engine/

Pruning

Learning both Weights and Connections for Efficient Neural Networks, https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.02626

Quantization

How to Quantize Neural Networks with TensorFlow, https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/g3doc/how_tos/quantization/index.md

DNN is noise tolerable

FP16 to INT8

Hardware speedup

FPU to ALU

Inference Without DL Frameworks

Cloud Solution Drawbacks

CostConnectivity Privacy

Need to ensure bandwidth, stability and latency are

good enough

Huge amount ofimage transmission

You might want to keep family information locally
