Device Cloud Collaborative

Device-cloud collaborative machine learning aims to leverage the strengths of both powerful cloud-based models and resource-constrained on-device models for improved efficiency and performance. Current research focuses on developing frameworks that enable efficient data transfer and model adaptation between cloud and device, often employing techniques like knowledge distillation, model decomposition, and uncertainty-guided sampling to optimize communication and computation. This approach is significant because it allows for the deployment of sophisticated AI models on resource-limited devices while benefiting from the computational power of the cloud, leading to more personalized and responsive applications in areas like recommendation systems and real-time object detection.
