Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for using a neural network across multiple devices. The method can include receiving, by a first device configured with a first one or more layers of a neural network, input data for processing via the neural network implemented across the first device and a second device. The method can include outputting, by the first one or more layers of the neural network implemented on the first device, a data set that is reduced in size relative to the input data while identifying one or more features of the input data for processing by a second one or more layers of the neural network. The method can include communicating, by the first device, the data set to the second device for processing via the second one or more layers of the neural network implemented on the second device.
