WORLDTECHDiscover the Qualcomm Academy new AI Associate Certification: Model to App at Maker Faire Rome!
What happened
The AI Associate Certification: Model to App is available online and can be completed at each learner’s own pace. The AI Associate Certification: Model to App is a hands-on, online, and self-paced program designed to provide experience with the end-to-end ML workflow, including data preparation, model creation, optimization, deployment, and on-device inference.
Through approximately five to six hours of build-along training, you’ll enjoy a combination of technical depth and practical application, helping you develop the confidence to create accurate, efficient, and production-ready AI solutions at the edge. To achieve their certification, participants use a learning-focused development kit based on UNO Q to complete three real-world projects that span voice, vision, and sensor-based AI: Wake Word Detection: Create and optimize a voice-enabled application that recognizes predefined wake words.
Person Recognition: Build a computer vision application that processes image data and performs real-time inference on an edge device. Qualcomm Academy is a program of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
To achieve their certification, participants use a learning-focused development kit based on UNO Q to complete three real-world projects that span voice, vision, and sensor-based AI: Each project connects model architecture, training, validation, quantization, deployment, and application integration so learners can explore the ML lifecycle in practice. The program is designed for developers and engineers, embedded systems professionals, IoT (everyday devices connected to a network) and robotics developers, students, and industry professionals interested in gaining practical experience with ML and edge AI. Learners should have basic Python skills, familiarity with an IDE (the program a developer writes and runs code in), introductory knowledge of PyTorch and ML concepts, and prior hands-on experience equivalent to the Qualcomm Academy foundational AI certificate programs.
