This notebook shows how to convert [PaddlePaddle](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn) models to OpenVINO IR.

## Notebook Contents

The notebook uses [model conversion API](https://docs.openvino.ai/2024/openvino-workflow/model-preparation.html) to convert a MobileNet V3 [PaddleClas](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleClas) model, pre-trained on the [ImageNet](https://www.image-net.org) dataset, to OpenVINO IR. It also shows how to perform classification inference on an image, using [OpenVINO Runtime](https://docs.openvino.ai/2024/openvino-workflow/running-inference.html) and compares the results of the PaddlePaddle model with the OpenVINO IR model.

## Installation Instructions

This is a self-contained example that relies solely on its own code.</br>
We recommend running the notebook in a virtual environment. You only need a Jupyter server to start.
For details, please refer to [Installation Guide](../../README.md).
