Energy Efficient Machine Learning and Cognitive Computing for Embedded Applications

Energy-Efficient Deep Learning: Challenges and Opportunities This talk will describe methods to enable energy-efficient processing for deep learning, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNN), which is the cornerstone of many deep-learning algorithms. Deep learning plays a critical role in extracting meaningful information out of the zetabytes of sensor data collected every day. For some applications, the goal is to analyze and understand the data to identify trends (e.g., surveillance, portable/wearable electronics); in other applications, the goal is to take immediate action based the data (e.g., robotics/drones, self-driving cars, smart Internet of Things). For many of these applications, local embedded processing near the sensor is preferred over the cloud due to privacy or latency concerns, or limitations in the communication bandwidth. However, at the sensor there are often stringent constraints on energy consumption and cost in addition to throughput and accuracy requirements. Furthermore, flexibility is often required such that the processing can be adapted for different applications or environments (e.g., update the weights and model in the classifier). We will give a short overview of the key concepts in CNNs, discuss its challenges particularly in the embedded space, and highlight various opportunities that can help to address these challenges at various levels of design ranging from architecture, implementation-friendly algorithms, and advanced technologies (including memories and sensors).

Advances in Energy Efficiency Through Cloud and Machine Learning Main Speaker - Urs Hölzle Today, the IT Industry accounts for about 2 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, comparable to the footprint of air travel. Will IT emission eclipse air travel one day soon? Urs Hölzle thinks the clear answer is “no”: he says IT energy will decrease, and perhaps decrease significantly, over the next decade. Find out why. Hölzle is Senior Vice President of Technical Infrastructure & Google Fellow and oversees the design and operation of the servers, networks, and data centers that power Google's services, as well as the development of the software infrastructure used by Google’s applications.

AI in Renewable Energy: How Is It a Game Changer? Read the full guide here So, we all know that renewable energies like solar power are the need of the time. But, how does Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help in improving renewable energy supply? Let’s see. Global energy demands are growing every year. And, fossil fuels won’t be able to fulfill our energy needs in the future. Carbon emissions from fossil fuels have already hit an all-time high in 2018 due to increased energy consumption. On the other hand, renewable energy is emerging out as a reliable alternative to fossil fuels. It is much safer and cleaner than conventional sources. With the advancements in technology, the renewable energy sector has made significant progress in the last decade. However, there are still a few challenges in this sector that can be addressed with the help of emerging technologies. Technologies like AI and Machine Learning can analyze the past, optimize the present, and predict the future. And, AI in the renewable energy sector can resolve most of the challenges.

Efficient Processing for Deep Learning: Challenges and Opportunities Dr. Vivienne Sze, Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at MIT (www.rle.mit.edu/eems) presents a one-hour webinar, "Efficient Processing for Deep Learning: Challenges and Opportunities," organized by the Embedded Vision Alliance. Deep neural networks (DNNs) are proving very effective for a variety of challenging machine perception tasks. But these algorithms are very computationally demanding. To enable DNNs to be used in practical applications, it’s critical to find efficient ways to implement them. This webinar explores how DNNs are being mapped onto today’s processor architectures, and how both DNN algorithms and specialized processors are evolving to enable improved efficiency. Sze concludes with suggestions on how to evaluate competing processor solutions in order to address your particular application and design requirements.

Energy-Efficient AI | Vivienne Sze | TEDxMIT Today, most of the processing for Artificial Intelligence (AI) happens in the cloud (i.e., data centers); however, there are many compelling reasons to perform the processing locally on the device (e.g., smartphones or robots) including reducing the dependence on communication infrastructure, preserving data privacy, and reducing reaction time. One of the key limitations of local processing is energy consumption. Researchers are working on various techniques to enable energy-efficient AI, and how energy-efficient AI extends the reach of AI beyond the cloud to enable a wide range of applications from robotics to health care. Vivienne Sze received the B.A.Sc. (Hons) degree in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, in 2004, and the S.M. and Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, in 2006 and 2010 respectively. She received the Jin-Au Kong Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Prize for her Ph.D. thesis in electrical engineering at MIT in 2011. She is an Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at MIT. Her research interests include energy efficient algorithms and architectures for portable multimedia applications. From September 2010 to July 2013, she was a Member of Technical Staff in the Systems and Applications R&D Center at Texas Instruments (TI), Dallas, TX, where she designed low-power algorithms and architectures for video coding. She also represented TI in the JCT-VC committee of ITU-T and ISO/IEC standards body during the development of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), which received a Primetime Emmy Engineering Award. She co-edited a book entitled High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) - Algorithms and Architecture (Springer, 2014). She was a recipient of the 2017 Qualcomm Faculty Award, 2016 Google Faculty Research Award, the 2016 AFOSR Young Investigator Research Program Award, the 2016 3M Non-Tenured Faculty Award, the 2014 DARPA Young Faculty Award, the 2007 DAC/ISSCC Student Design Contest Award and a co-recipient of the 2017 CICC Best Invited Paper Award, the 2016 Micro Top Picks Award and the 2008 A-SSCC Outstanding Design Award.
