Open Source Android Neural Network Libraries

ncnn is a high-performance neural network inference computing framework designed specifically for mobile platforms. It brings artificial intelligence right at your fingertips with no third-party dependencies, and speeds faster than all other known open source frameworks for mobile phone cpu. ncnn allows developers to easily deploy deep learning algorithm models to the mobile platform and create intelligent APPs. It is cross-platform and supports most commonly used CNN networks, including Classical CNN (VGG AlexNet GoogleNet Inception), Face Detection (MTCNN RetinaFace), Segmentation (FCN PSPNet UNet YOLACT), and more. ncnn is currently being used in a number of Tencent applications, namely: QQ, Qzone, WeChat, and Pitu.

The Simd Library is a free open source image processing library, designed for C and C++ programmers. It provides many useful high performance algorithms for image processing such as: pixel format conversion, image scaling and filtration, extraction of statistic information from images, motion detection, object detection (HAAR and LBP classifier cascades) and classification, neural network. The algorithms are optimized with using of different SIMD CPU extensions. In particular the library supports following CPU extensions: SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2 and AVX-512 for x86/x64, VMX(Altivec) and VSX(Power7) for PowerPC, NEON for ARM. The Simd Library has C API and also contains useful C++ classes and functions to facilitate access to C API. The library supports dynamic and static linking, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, Android and Linux, MSVS, G++ and Clang compilers, MSVS project and CMake build systems.

MMdnn is a set of tools to help users inter-operate among different deep learning frameworks. E.g. model conversion and visualization. Convert models between Caffe, Keras, MXNet, Tensorflow, CNTK, PyTorch Onnx and CoreML. MMdnn is a comprehensive and cross-framework tool to convert, visualize and diagnose deep learning (DL) models. The "MM" stands for model management, and "dnn" is the acronym of deep neural network. We implement a universal converter to convert DL models between frameworks, which means you can train a model with one framework and deploy it with another. During the model conversion, we generate some code snippets to simplify later retraining or inference. We provide a model collection to help you find some popular models. We provide a model visualizer to display the network architecture more intuitively. We provide some guidelines to help you deploy DL models to another hardware platform.

TNN, a high-performance, lightweight neural network inference framework open sourced by Tencent Youtu Lab. It also has many outstanding advantages such as cross-platform, high performance, model compression, and code tailoring. The TNN framework further strengthens the support and performance optimization of mobile devices on the basis of the original Rapidnet and ncnn frameworks. At the same time, it refers to the high performance and good scalability characteristics of the industry's mainstream open source frameworks, and expands the support for X86 and NV GPUs. On the mobile phone, TNN has been used by many applications such as mobile QQ, weishi, and Pitu. As a basic acceleration framework for Tencent Cloud AI, TNN has provided acceleration support for the implementation of many businesses. Everyone is welcome to participate in the collaborative construction to promote the further improvement of the TNN inference framework.

XNNPACK is a highly optimized, low-level neural network inference library developed by Google for accelerating deep learning workloads across a variety of hardware architectures, including ARM, x86, WebAssembly, and RISC-V. Rather than serving as a standalone ML framework, XNNPACK provides high-performance computational primitives—such as convolutions, pooling, activation functions, and arithmetic operations—that are integrated into higher-level frameworks like TensorFlow Lite, PyTorch Mobile, ONNX Runtime, TensorFlow.js, and MediaPipe. The library is written in C/C++ and designed for maximum portability, efficiency, and performance, leveraging platform-specific instruction sets (e.g., NEON, AVX, SIMD) for optimized execution. It supports NHWC tensor layouts and allows flexible striding along the channel dimension to efficiently handle channel-split and concatenation operations without additional cost.

This project consists out of a windows based designer application and a library (that can run on multiple platforms, including android) together with several demo applications (including an MVC3 chatbot client and an android application). It is probably best compared to a database management system, but for neural networks instead of relational data. As such, the library is optimized for handling any type of data-size by using advanced streaming and caching algorithms. With the designer, you are able to create different types of decision trees, random forests, n-grams, pattern-matchers, conversational agents and all sorts of AI related algorithms. You can combine statistical approaches as well as pattern matchers or others. Do natural language processing, image or data analysis & interpretation,...
