In this tutorial, we work through an end-to-end workflow for Qualcomm AI Hub Models. We start by setting up the required package, discovering the available model collection, and loading MobileNet-V2 for local PyTorch inference. We also handle an important input-shape issue by converting NHWC image tensors into the NCHW format expected by the model. From…
As public backlash to the seeming omnipresence of artificial intelligence intensifies, the collective quest to weed out—and reject—telltale signs of its use continues.
