Deep Dive

Get Started With Pre-trained Model

Get Started With Pre-trained Models

NVIDIA offers pre-trained models for speech recognition, language understanding, and speech synthesis through the NGC catalog. These models are highly accurate and have been trained on a variety of open and proprietary datasets for thousands of hours using GPUs. The NGC models are seamlessly integrated with SDKs such as NVIDIA NeMo for building, training, and fine-tuning conversational AI models

 

Create Cutting-Edge Conversational AI Models

Explore NVIDIA NeMo, an open-source toolkit for researchers developing new state-of-the-art conversational AI models. It provides a collection of modules and models for automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, and text-to-speech. NeMo modules and models are highly interoperable with popular PyTorch and PyTorch Lightning frameworks, giving researchers exceptional flexibility.

Develop Conversational AI Apps For Enterprise

Develop Conversational AI Apps For Enterprise

NVIDIA offers Riva, a GPU- accelerated SDK to help enterprises develop multimodal conversational AI applications. It includes highly accurate pre-trained models in NGC, tools for fine-tuning these models on custom datasets, and optimized real-time speech and language skills for tasks like transcription and natural language-understanding.

NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI)
