Fixed-Point Machine Learning Inference Engine
FY 2018-19 · 2018-11-01
Summary
This project will research the best methods for the development and implementation of a software based machine learning inference engine using fixed point math. The project is expected to include development of a prototype suitable for operation on embedded microprocessors or micro-controllers which do not efficiently support floating point math in hardware. Testing and validation will be included to validate the performance and accuracy against floating point math implementations.

Description (French)
Ce projet étudiera les meilleures méthodes de développement et d’implémentation d’un moteur d’inférence basé sur un logiciel d’apprentissage automatique, utilisant des mathématiques en virgule fixe. Le projet devrait inclure le développement d'un prototype pouvant être utilisé sur des microprocesseurs ou des microcontrôleurs intégrés ne prenant pas en charge efficacement les calculs en virgule flottante dans le matériel. Des tests et une validation seront inclus pour valider les performances et la précision par rapport aux implémentations mathématiques en virgule flottante.
