Method, terminal-side device, and cloud-side device for data processing and terminal-cloud collaboration system

A method for data processing, comprising:

• receiving, by a cloud-side device, a request message from a terminal-side device, to request a neural network model to process a cognitive computing task;
• determining, by the cloud-side device based on the request message, a first neural network model to process the cognitive computing task;
• trimming, by the cloud-side device, the first neural network model to obtain a second neural network model, wherein a hardware resource required to execute the second neural network model is within an available hardware resource capability range of the terminal-side device;
• and
• sending, by the cloud-side device, the second neural network model to the terminal-side device, so that the terminal-side device processes the cognitive computing task using the second neural network model.
