Google, Harvard, and EdX Team Up to Offer TinyML Training - InformationWeek

Online learning platform EdX; Google's open-source machine learning platform, TensorFlow; and HarvardX have put together a certification program to train tech professionals to work with tiny machine learning (TinyML). The program is meant to support this specialized segment of development that can include edge computing with smart devices, wildlife tracking, and other sensors. The program comprises a series of courses that can be completed at home. The idea is to scale machine learning to function in small form, edge devices that use far less power than desktop computers and have limited storage and processing capacity, says Anant Agarwal, CEO of EdX, which was founded by MIT and Harvard. That can include devices that operate on batteries, such as remote sensors, microphones, and cameras set up in the wilderness.
