Highlights
-----------
This release introduces a new component: Model Adaptor. It adopts transfer learning methodologies to reduce training time, improve inference throughput and reduce data labeling by taking the advantage of public pretrained models and datasets. The three methods in [Model Adaptor](https://github.com/intel/e2eAIOK/tree/main/e2eAIOK/ModelAdapter) are: Finetuner, Distiller, and Domain Adapter. Currently, model adaptor supports ResNet, BERT, GPT2, 3D Unet models, covering Image Classification, Natural Language Processing and Medical Segmentation domains.
This release provides following major features:
* Model Adaptor Finetuner
* Model Adaptor Distiller
* Model Adaptor Domain Adaptor
* Support Hugging Face models in training free NAS
Improvements
----------------
* Updated demo with colab click-to-run support
* Updated docker with jupyter support
