Tutorials for creating and using ONNX models

ONNX Tutorials

Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) is an open standard format for representing machine learning models. ONNX is supported by a community of partners who have implemented it in many frameworks and tools.

These images are available for convenience to get started with ONNX and tutorials on this page

• Docker image for ONNX and Caffe2/PyTorch
• Docker image for ONNX, ONNX Runtime, and various converters

Getting ONNX models

• Pre-trained models: Many pre-trained ONNX models are provided for common scenarios in the ONNX Model Zoo.
• Services: Customized ONNX models are generated for your data by cloud based services (see below)
• Convert models from various frameworks (see below)

Services

Below is a list of services that can output ONNX models customized for your data.

• Azure Custom Vision service
• Azure Machine Learning automated ML
