Does NCS provide a low-level api?

[idata]

It seems there are only some High-Level nerual graph Api like

• load a whole graph
• infer this graph
• get the final layer's result

Is there some library providing tensor api like:

• conv(input, output, dim,…)
• softmax(….)so that I can make my network from scratch.

Or some more raw-calculation-api with NCS-accelerate like:

• max(a, b, c…)
• matrix_add(a, b)

So that I can create my own custom layer or op.

Thank you.

@chenxiaoyu3 Thanks for your interest. At the moment, the NCSDK(2.05) doesn't have a low level API for creating custom layers or ops or any tensorlike apis.

@Tome_at_Intel Do you guys have some plan for this? We must adjust these common Network to make it adaptive to particular domain, I think this is required in many practical scene.

We found NCStick is quite useful for many of our customers, whose models are all customized.

Is There a rough roadmap for this?

@chenxiaoyu3 We understand your situation, however there isn't a road map that I can share regarding custom layers.
