Edge Application

Edge application research focuses on deploying computationally intensive tasks, such as machine learning inference and data processing, directly onto resource-constrained devices like wearables and IoT sensors. Current efforts concentrate on optimizing model architectures (e.g., lightweight transformers, Tsetlin Machines) and algorithms for speed, accuracy, and energy efficiency, often employing techniques like quantization, pruning, and specialized hardware accelerators (e.g., FPGAs). This field is crucial for enabling real-time, privacy-preserving applications in diverse areas including healthcare, security, and industrial automation, while simultaneously addressing challenges related to data security and resource limitations.
