Does edge TPU support 1D convolution?

Question

I was interested in the google corral usb accelerator for a project I looked it up and it says it supports CNN models, but does that include 1 dimensional CNN models?

Answer 1

It's techincally possible. TFLite (and by extension the EdgeTPU) doesn't directly suppord Conv1D. But if you compile a model with Conv1D, the TFLite compiler will change that to a Reshape->Conv2D->Reshape. Because these operations are all accelerated on the EdgeTPU, you'll be able to run Conv1D without a significant performance hit.
