### SpaghettiNet for Edge TPU
We have released SpaghettiNet models optimized for the Edge TPU in the [Google Tensor SoC](https://blog.google/products/pixel/google-tensor-debuts-new-pixel-6-fall/).
SpaghettiNet models are derived from a TuNAS search space that incorporates
group convolution based [Inverted Bottleneck](https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.04381) blocks.
The backbone and detection head are connected through [MnasFPN](https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.01106)-style feature map
merging and searched jointly.
When compared to MobileDet-EdgeTPU, SpaghettiNet models achieve +2.2% mAP
(absolute) on COCO17 at the same latency. They also consume <70% of the energy
used by MobileDet-EdgeTPU to achieve the same accuracy.
Sample config available [here](configs/tf1/ssd_spaghettinet_edgetpu_320x320_coco17_sync_4x4.config).
<b>Thanks to contributors</b>: Marie White, Hao Xu, Hanxiao Liu and Suyog Gupta.
