A model training and implementation pipeline trains models for individual embedded systems. The pipeline iterates through multiple models and estimates the performance of the models. During a model generation stage, the pipeline translates the description of the model together with the model parameters into an intermediate representation in a language that is compatible with a virtual machine. The intermediate representation is agnostic or independent to the configuration of the target platform. During a model performance estimation stage, the pipeline evaluates the performance of the models without training the models. Based on the analysis of the performance of the untrained models, a subset of models is selected. The selected models are then trained and the performance of the trained models are analyzed. Based on the analysis of the performance of the trained models, a single model is selected for deployment to the target platform.

Optimizing neural network structures for embedded systems

An autonomous control system combines sensor data from multiple sensors to simulate sensor data from high-capacity sensors. The sensor data contains information related to physical environments surrounding vehicles for autonomous guidance. For example, the sensor data may be in the form of images that visually capture scenes of the surrounding environment, geo-location of the vehicles, and the like. The autonomous control system simulates high-capacity sensor data of the physical environment from replacement sensors that may each have lower capacity than high-capacity sensors. The high-capacity sensor data may be simulated via one or more neural network models. The autonomous control system performs various detection and control algorithms on the simulated sensor data to guide the vehicle autonomously.
