Course Overview

Top

Build and deploy a conversational AI pipeline including transcription, NLP, and speech.

You'll explore automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) models and their customization in detail with the NVIDIA NeMo framework and learn how to deploy the models with Riva. Finally, you'll explore the production-level deployment performance and scaling considerations of Riva services with Helm charts and Kubernetes clusters.

Company Events

These events can be delivered exclusively for your company at our locations or yours, specifically for your delegates and your needs. The Company Events can be tailored or standard course deliveries.
