Perhaps you misunderstood me. I’m not the author, I just posted beginning of a blog post and provided the link to the rest of it because it seemed interesting. The reason I didn’t post a whole thing is because there are quite few illustrations.
Blog post ends with:
“It is indeed possible to implement MNIST inference with good accuracy using one of the cheapest and simplest microcontrollers on the market. A
lot of memory footprint and processing overhead is usually spent on implementing flexible inference engines, that can accomodate a wide range
of operators and model structures. Cutting this overhead away and reducing the functionality to its core allows for astonishing simplification at this very low end.
This hack demonstrates that there truly is no fundamental lower limit to applying machine learning and edge inference. However, the feasibility of implementing useful applications at this level is somewhat doubtful.”
It's fine to quote from a blog post or other such sources, as long as
you make it clear that this is what you are doing (and that you are not
quoting so much that it is copyright infringement). Your first post in
this thread was formatted in a way that makes it clear and obvious that
it was your own original words, written for the Usenet post - but
apparently that was not the case. Remember, no one reading Usenet is
going to click on random links in a post - we need very good reason to
do so. So please, next time write some introductory or explanatory text yourself and make the whole thing clearer.
I think it is quite cool to hear that it is possible to do something
like this on these 3-cent microcontrollers, but I would not expect
anyone to use them in practice.
