Submission Deadline Extended !!!
AutoMLPerSys is focused on enhancing and nurturing research in the niche domain of AutoML for tiny edge systems like wearables/implantable and smart fabrics, that perform pervasive human sensing. We welcome full papers (up to 6 pages) with novel ideas on the automation of machine learning for pervasive sensing applications. Submissions can be in research areas including, but not limited to the following:
AutoML for Human Sensing.
Hyperparameter Optimization Techniques, Neural Architecture Search Techniques for resource-constrained platforms
Methods and challenges in the implementation of AutoML-generated models on Wearable, Implantable, Smart Fabrics and Mobile Devices, including Connected Home and Connected Vehicle Edge Devices.
Real-time parameters and their optimization and impact on on-device inference.
Addressing issues related to devising Deployment and Inference, such as Data Quality, Resource Constraints, Interpretability, Feature Engineering, Privacy and Sustainability
Addressing problems arising due to model parameter reduction, such as Robustness, Personalization and Generalizability, Reliability and Scalability
Application-specific deployment of AI on edge devices impacts the various user privacy and feasibility concerns and sustainability in short-term as well as long-term.
The various challenges involved in making a model architecture fit for pervasive usage - whether the reduction in size and parameters results in a fair trade-off between resource demand and metrics (Accuracy, Robustness).
The right balance between the cost of resources (Power, GPU hours, Memory usage) to automate the model design and reduction process vs. the benefits achieved in terms of tiny model architectures with low resource footprint for training and inference for continuously running applications.
Energy consideration and Power budgeting for continuous Sensing and Inference.
Submission instructions
Paper submissions for this event must be made via EDAS. If you do not have an EDAS account, please register for free here. Direct submission link to AutoMLPerSys 2024 is here.
AutoMLPerSys 2024 will undergo a rigorous evaluation process where a single-blind review procedure will be followed. Therefore, authors need to ensure the anonymity of their submissions in good faith. However, publishing pre-prints of submitted papers in online archives (such as arXiv) before submitting them to AutoMLPerSys will not exclude the article from consideration. It should be noted that reviewers are explicitly instructed not to search for pre-prints of the submitted works.
All submitted papers must be original and undisclosed or not currently being considered for publication elsewhere. Moreover, these papers should significantly associate with applying machine learning models to real-world problems using automation for pervasive sensing. The Technical Programme Committee will carefully assess all submitted papers through a comprehensive evaluation process. Please note that only submissions in electronic PDF format will be considered.
You can find the IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates and formatting instructions at this location. The papers should be 6 pages long for technical content, adhering to a 10pt font and a 2-column format. This page limit includes text, figures, tables, and references. Authors will be allowed one additional page for accepted workshop papers, subject to payment.
The accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. Furthermore, all accepted papers may receive an invitation to submit an abstract for an artifact, which should include code, data, results, and other related materials associated with the contribution.
All workshop papers require a full registration. The link to the main conference website for IEEE PerCom 2024 can be found here.
Artifact Submission:
It is to be noted that similar to other tracks in PerCom 2024, all accepted papers at AutoMLPerSys 2024 will be invited to submit an artifact abstract providing the code, data, results, etc. associated with the contribution. Authors who choose to participate may provide supplementary materials as artifacts that will be reviewed solely for functional completeness. Participating authors will be allotted two additional pages in a separate Artifacts section of the proceedings to describe the nature and contents of the artifact package. Submission of artifacts packages will have no bearing on paper acceptance or publication. However, papers that have verified artifacts or data will be associated with badges in the conference program and proceedings. Two badges will be available- Artifact-Certified and Result-Certified and participating authors must indicate which badge(s) the committee should consider for the submission.
Artifacts of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
Software, which also includes implementations or simulations of systems or algorithms.
Data repositories, including, e.g., logging data, system traces and survey raw data.
Frameworks, which includes tools and services illustrating new approaches to pervasive computing systems and application development.
This list is not exhaustive, and authors with questions about the suitability of an artifact should reach out to the artifact chair: Christian Krupitzer (christian.krupitzer@uni-hohenheim.de)
