What it does
ModelScope is a library that connects to the ModelScope hub, a large online collection of AI models for language, images, speech and science. It gives programmers one simple way to load a model and use it, whatever the task.
For example, a few lines of code can split Chinese text into words or remove the background from a photo. It also includes tools for fine-tuning models and testing how well they work.
Who it's for
Developers and researchers, especially those using models published on the ModelScope hub.
