2.0.0

What’s New

Major Features

  • Pipeline Automation - Automated pipelines reduce the amount of code you have to write to find good features and pipeline parameters. Use pre-defined Pipeline Seeds (“Basic Features”, “Advanced Features”, “Downsample Features”, “Histogram Features”) - or define your own pipeline and let the automation API fine-tune the parameters with its genetic algorithm.

  • Convolution/Submodels - A segment captured and classified by one model, can be fed and used by other models which can use the entire segment or perform their own segmentation

  • Segmenter Discovery/Optimization - Given a labeled data set, the server will optimize the parameters for detecting those segments from the signal

Minor Features

  • Optimization for core function for latency and memory usage

  • SensiML Python SDK list functionality - for most types of objects on the server is now supported. client.list_* to allow easy information discovery

  • Knowledge Packs can now be saved and retrieved by name. models from multiple pipelines/projects can now be combined into a single binary file

  • Grid Search can now be performed over the validation, classifier and training algorithm of the tvo step. The option to replace Hierarchical Clustering with Neuron Optimization in the grid search has been removed. To use Neuron Optimization, use it in the pipeline tvo step like all other training algorithms

  • Addition of new feature generators and transforms

    • Transform: Pre-emphasis Filter

    • Feature Generator: MFCC

    • Feature Generator: FFT

    • Feature Selector: Custom Feature Selection

    • Validation Method: Set Sample Validation
