Why NNoM?
The aims of NNoM is to provide a light-weight, user-friendly and flexible interface for fast deploying.
Nowadays, neural networks are wider, deeper, and denser.

After 2014, the development of Neural Networks are more focus on structure optimising to improve efficiency and performance, which is more important to the small footprint platforms such as MCUs. However, the available NN libs for MCU are too low-level which make it sooooo difficult to use with these complex strucures.
Therefore, we build NNoM to help embedded developers for faster and simpler deploying NN model directly to MCU.
NNoM will manage the strucutre, memory and everything else for the developer. All you need to do is feeding your new measurements and getting the results.
NNoM is now working closely with Keras (You can easily learn Keras in 30 seconds!). There is no need to learn TensorFlow/Lite or other libs.

Dependencies
NNoM now use the local pure C backend implementation by default. Thus, there is no special dependency needed.
Optimization
CMSIS-NN/DSP is an optimized backend for ARM-Cortex-M4/7/33/35P. You can select it for up to 5x performance compared to the default C backend. NNoM will use the equivalent method in CMSIS-NN if the condition met.
Known Issues
Converter do not support implicitly defined activations
The script currently does not support implicit act:
Dense(32, activation="relu")
Use the explicit activation instead.
Dense(32)
Relu()
