Abstract

Deep learning has achieved remarkable successes in many application domains, such as computer vision, image processing, and natural language processing. However, deploying powerful deep learning models on resource-constrained mobile devices (e.g., wearable or IoT devices) faces great challenges. Recently, edge AI techniques that rely on the emerging mobile edge computing platforms have been proposed, which forward intermediate features to be processed by a powerful edge server. To achieve high-accuracy and low-latency inference, effective feature encoders with low complexity and high compression capability will be needed. This calls for a paradigm shift in wireless communications, from “data-oriented communications”, which maximize data rates, to “task-oriented communications”, where the data transmission is an intermediate step to be optimized for the downstream inference task. This talk will introduce recent progresses on task-oriented communication for edge inference. An effective design principle based on information bottleneck will be firstly introduced, which will then be extended to multi-device cooperative perception based on a distributed information bottleneck framework. Use cases on edge video analytics and edge-assisted localization for mobile robots will be presented, followed by introduction of EdgeGPT, an autonomous edge AI system empowered by large language models.

Topic:

ML Hardware Design for Efficiency, Flexibility and Scalability

 

Abstract:

Machine learning (ML) is the driving application of the next-generation computational hardware. How to design ML hardware to achieve a high performance, efficiency, and flexibility to support fast growing ML workloads is a key challenge. Besides dataflow-optimized systolic arrays and single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) engines, efficient ML accelerators have been designed to take advantage of static and dynamic data sparsity. To accommodate the fast-evolving ML workloads, matrix engines can be integrated with an FPGA to provide the efficiency of kernel computation and the flexibility of control. To support the increasing ML model complexity, modular chiplets can be tiled on a 2.5D interposer and stacked in a 3D package. We envision that a combination of these techniques will be required to address the needs of future ML applications.
