Dear Colleagues and Students,

The State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City would like to invite you to join our “UM Distinguished Visiting Scholar Series” on 09/10/2023 (Monday). We are pleased to invite Professor of University of Waterloo, Prof. Weihua ZHUANG, as the speaker.

Stochastic Cumulative DNN Inference for Intelligent IoT Applications

Speaker: Prof. Weihua ZHUANG, Professor of University of Waterloo

Date: 09/10/2023 (Monday)

Time: 10:30 – 12:00

Language: English

Venue: N21-G013

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence models will continue to be pervasively deployed to support diverse intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) applications in the 5G/6G era. Many such applications rely on deep neural networks (DNN) for object classification. In this presentation, DNN inference uses a pre-trained DNN model to process an input data sample such as raw sensing data, and generates a classification result. We will discuss when to offload DNN inference computation from resource constrained IoT devices to the edge and how to incorporate different contributions from multiple random DNN inference results to improve task classification accuracy, while achieving high transmission, computation, and energy resource utilization.
