The WideResNet50-Quantized model is a powerful tool for image classification using the Imagenet dataset. This model is specifically optimized for mobile deployment, making it suitable for devices like Samsung Galaxy smartphones that are built on Qualcomm® chipsets. In this article, we will guide you through the installation and usage of this model, ensuring a seamless experience on cloud-hosted and Android devices alike.

Understanding the WideResNet50-Quantized Model

You can think of the WideResNet50-Quantized model as a highly skilled chef in a mobile kitchen. This chef has mastered a variety of recipes (or classification tasks) from the extensive cookbook known as the Imagenet dataset. Not only does this chef cook up delicious dishes, but they can also be adapted to create specialized meals (other complex models) based on the user’s preferences.

With 68.9 million parameters, the chef is equipped with plenty of ingredients (data features) to create a diverse range of culinary (classification) masterpieces. The chef works quickly, serving exquisite dishes in just over 1.8 milliseconds, making it perfect for on-the-go dining experiences (real-time predictions)

Installing the WideResNet50-Quantized Model

Installing the model is a breeze! Simply use the following pip command:

pip install qai-hub-models[wideresnet50_quantized]

Configuring Qualcomm® AI Hub for Cloud Deployment

To run the model on a cloud-hosted device, you must take a moment to sign in to the Qualcomm® AI Hub using your Qualcomm® ID. Once signed in, navigate through the settings to obtain your API token, which will be essential for configuring the environment:

qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN

For additional details, you can consult the documentation.

Running the Model

After installation and configuration, you can easily demo the model with this command:

python -m qai_hub_models.models.wideresnet50_quantized.demo

For those using Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab, replace the command with the following:

%run -m qai_hub_models.models.wideresnet50_quantized.demo
