Qualcomm Opens Its Mobile Chip Deep Learning Framework To All (techcrunch.com) 13
randomErr shares a report from TechCrunch: Mobile chip maker Qualcomm wants to enable deep learning-based software development on all kinds of devices, which is why it created the Neural Processing Engine (NPE) for its Snapdragon-series mobile processors. The NPE software development kit is now available to all via the Qualcomm Developer Network, which marks the first public release of the SDK, and opens up a lot of potential for AI computing on a range of devices, including mobile phones, in-car platforms and more. The purpose of the framework is to make possible UX implementations like style transfers and filters (basically what Snapchat and Facebook do with their mobile app cameras) with more accurate applications on user photos, as well as other functions better handled by deep learning algorithms, like scene detection, facial recognition, object tracking and avoidance, as well as natural language processing. Basically anything you'd normally route to powerful cloud servers for advanced process, but done locally on device instead.

I am looking forward to the daily wft entries, such as this one where they do find the max element of an array using two heap-allocated arrays and a bubble sort

Another in a long line of "It sounds cool, seemed promising, but we really couldn't do much of anything useful with it" tosses to the crowd.

Totally not "inspired" by Core Machine Learning (Score:1)
Yeah, this is definitely not a "Me too!" thing they created after seeing Apple's Core Machine Learning framework. Nope, nothing to do with CoreML at all... *rolls eyes*
Just like when Qualcomm said 64-bit mobile processors were useless after being caught flatfooted by Apple's A7 CPU announcement, then rushed to design their own 64-bit mobile CPU.
