What do you like best about Edge Impulse?

Edge impulse is one of the emerging platforms for embedded ML and is free for developers. Without specialised hardware like Arduino or raspberry pi, many real-time and time-consuming machine learning problems can be solved quickly. The best thing about this is you can use your mobile phone, computer or a supported development board. The data collection is super easy, and the dashboards help you manage your data. For example- you can view your previous data, projects and devices you used to connect etc. Very easy to use, just scan the QR code and the device gets connected via a link. Like any ML model, train and test data sets need to be created and you can create various labels for your reference. You can add filters to improve your results or for the desired conversion or input. It's straightforward; even if you are a beginner, just add the recommended filters, and they work great. Drag and drop approach solves most of the coding approach. There aren't many open source GUI-based approaches such as this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edge Impulse?

Not much really. It reduces the coding approach, which might be a habit for developers over time. But everyone is looking for GUI models these days, so might be helpful. On the other hand, it can be difficult for anyone looking for control of every single parameter and full customisation to the details of the approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Edge Impulse solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me, it was the accuracy issue. Every time you retrain your model, there are some internal changes to the previously calculated accuracy results by Edge Impulse, based on that, it creates another good classifier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a Machine learning based platform for businesses to enhance their experience on different embedded devices for audio-video visuals, sensors on a large scale. Through it's help, all the engineers or developers can solve the problems using Machine learning leading to the solution time to be very quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edge Impulse?

The platform in itself is good enough to use but it can be simplified and made easy to understood by common people also in terms of general analytics rather than just the developers or coders Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Edge Impulse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Edge impulse is machine learning based platform, so giving the most optimum and accurate outputs in the minimum time is one of the major outcomes besides reducing the human efforts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Edge Impulse?

Having a simple and consistent interface to build AI micro systems, with superb control over dataset collection, experiments, deployment (this is the secret sauce of this system, IMHO) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edge Impulse?

Not so detailed in giving information over NN structure, it would be nice to explore the overall implementation with some more details about "insiders" topics. ARM output in 32bits is someway hard to port to non-mainstream toolchains, like often happens in embedded devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Edge Impulse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Small NN compilation, model deployment, targeting real HW platforms like Raspberry PI and other minimal devices. Interestingly it supports also PC output which makes the solution more scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
