IEEE Std 2941.1™-2022

Status: Published

Standard Title: Standard for Operator Interfaces of Artificial Intelligence

Purchase Link: Buy it

Standard Scope: This standard defines a set of operator interfaces frequently found in artificial intelligence (AI) applications, where the AI operators refer to the standard building blocks and primitives for performing basic AI operations. It defines the functionality and the specific input and output operands of an AI operator. It takes into account both generality and efficiency, and covers various types of operators, such as those related to basic mathematics, neural network, and machine learning.
