Constrained Device
Constrained devices, characterized by limited computational resources and memory, are the focus of intense research aimed at enabling powerful machine learning applications in resource-scarce environments. Current efforts concentrate on adapting existing deep learning models, such as CNNs and specialized architectures like EfficientNet, through techniques like pruning, quantization, and layer-wise training in federated learning settings to improve efficiency and accuracy on these devices. This research is crucial for expanding the reach of AI to diverse applications, including healthcare diagnostics in remote areas, predictive maintenance of infrastructure like solar farms, and enabling intelligent functionalities in resource-constrained IoT devices.
