fastai is a deep learning library which provides practitioners with high-level components that can quickly and easily provide state-of-the-art results in standard deep learning domains, and provides researchers with low-level components that can be mixed and matched to build new approaches. It aims to do both things without substantial compromises in ease of use, flexibility, or performance. This is possible thanks to a carefully layered architecture, which expresses common underlying...

...These large models are trained on huge supervised corpora, like the ImageNet. And most important, their features are known to adapt well to new problems. This is particularly interesting when annotated training data is scarce. In situations like this, we take the models’ pre-trained weights, append a new classifier layer on top of it, and retrain the network. This is called transfer learning, and is one of the most used techniques in CV. Aside from a few tricks when performing fine-tuning (if the case), it has been shown (many times) that if training for a new task, models initialized with pre-trained weights tend to learn faster and be more accurate then training from scratch using random initialization.

Savant is an open-source, high-level framework for building real-time, streaming, highly efficient multimedia AI applications on the Nvidia stack. It helps to develop dynamic, fault-tolerant inference pipelines that utilize the best Nvidia approaches for data center and edge accelerators. Savant is built on DeepStream and provides a high-level abstraction layer for building inference pipelines. It is designed to be easy to use, flexible, and scalable. It is a great choice for building smart CV and video analytics applications for cities, retail, manufacturing, and more.
