Model training & int8 quantization

Train a compact model on collected sensor data, validate its accuracy, and quantize it to int8 so it can run on constrained edge hardware.

Project blueprint

What you'll build

This project turns a clean sensor dataset into a model that is small, measurable, and ready for deployment. You will train, validate, and quantize the model instead of treating the model file as a black box.

The result is a reproducible training workflow with accuracy checks that can be carried into the on-device inference project.

Build sequence

Follow the steps in order, verify each checkpoint, and finish with a working project you can explain and extend.

01

Prepare the training dataset

Clean, label, split, and inspect sensor samples before training.

02

Train a baseline model

Build a compact model and establish an accuracy baseline.

03

Quantize to int8

Convert the model for edge deployment while measuring the accuracy trade-off.

04

Validate the artifact

Test the quantized model against held-out samples and package it for the next build.
