Convert [MLMultiArray] to Float?

Question

I have an MLMultiArray which is a result of an ML Model. I need to convert it to Float so that I can further store it in Realm.

Below is an example of one of the MLMultiArray. The result from the ML Model contains 120 of the same vectors so its an array of MLMultiArrays i.e Array of Float32 1 x 128 matrices.

Float32 1 x 128 matrix

Is there any way I can convert an array of MLMultiArray to Float32?

Any help would be appreciated <3

Answer 1

You can first convert the MLMultiArray to an UnsafeBufferPointer and then to a regular Array.

import CoreML

var a: [Float] = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
var m = try! MLMultiArray(a)

if let b = try? UnsafeBufferPointer<Float>(m) {
  let c = Array(b)
  print(c)
}
