Song Guo believes that in order to run intelligent applications on ubiquitous edge devices, it is necessary to deploy the entire lifecycle (ecosystem) of data generation, view extraction, and model use near the user with support for various machine learning methods.
This emerging scenario promotes the rise of Neural-enhanced Edge Perception (NEP) system, which handles the end-to-end processing procedure by synthetically optimizing the key components of large-scale learning paradigm, hardware-adaptive neural architecture and communication-efficient cross-device interaction. As a fundamental infrastructure to bring edge intelligence to the production environment, the NEP system offers great advantages in terms of multi-modality knowledge fusion, lightweight on-device analysis, real-time streaming processing and perfect rate-distortion balance on distributed collaborative devices.
This talk gives a comprehensive inspection of implementing high-performance NEP systems, covering the realistic design challenges, possible solutions and promising research opportunities.
