13 NNtrainer is a Software Framework for training Neural Network models on devices.
14
15 ## Overview
16
17 NNtrainer is an Open Source Project. The aim of the NNtrainer is to develop a Software Framework to train neural network models on embedded devices which have relatively limited resources. Rather than training whole layers of a network from the scratch, NNtrainer finetunes the neural network model on device with user data for the personalization.
18
19 Even if NNtariner runs on device, it provides full functionalities to train models and also utilizes limited device resources efficiently. NNTrainer is able to train various machine learning algorithms such as k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Neural Networks, Logistic Regression, Reinforcement Learning algorithms, Recurrent network and more. We also provide examples for various tasks such as Few-shot learning, ResNet, VGG, Product Rating and more will be added. All of these were tested on Samsung Galaxy smart phone with Android and PC (Ubuntu 18.04/20.04).

130 ### Tensor
131
132 Tensor is responsible for calculation of a layer. It executes several operations such as addition, division, multiplication, dot production, data averaging and so on. In order to accelerate  calculation speed, CBLAS (C-Basic Linear Algebra: CPU) and CUBLAS (CUDA: Basic Linear Algebra) for PC (Especially NVIDIA GPU) are implemented for some of the operations. Later, these calculations will be optimized.
133 Currently, we supports lazy calculation mode to reduce complexity for copying tensors during calculations.
