UPDATING A NEURAL NETWORK MODEL ON A COMPUTATION DEVICE

Abstract:

A method for updating a neural network model on a computation device. The method includes estimating a bandwidth for data download from a server device to the computation device; estimating a time point of available computation capacity of the computation device; computing a maximum partition size as a function of the bandwidth and the time point; and causing download of a selected partition of the neural network model from the server device to the computation device, the selected partition being determined based on the maximum partition size. The method enables the selected partition to be executed by the computation device upon downloading and thereby provides for seamless updating of the neural network model while it is being executed on the computation device.
