Many AI applications have common needs: classification, object detection, language translation, text-to-speech, recommender engines, sentiment analysis, and more. When developing applications with these capabilities, it is much faster to start with a model that is pre-trained and then tune it for a specific use case.
NGC offers pre-trained models for a variety of common AI tasks that are optimized for NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs, and can be easily re-trained by updating just a few layers, saving valuable time.
