Tiny Machine Learning

What is tiny machine learning?

Tiny Machine Learning is a novel research area aiming at designing and developing Machine and Deep Learning techniques meant to be executed on Embedded Systems, Internet-of-Things and Edge Computing units, hence taking into account the constraints on computation, memory, and energy characterizing these pervasive devices.

Techniques to significantly reduce the size and power of models can draw from a vast number of training methods, ranging from pruning to dynamic compression and quantization, to the design of novel hardware accelerators or distributed layers and algorithms specific for execution on “tiny” platforms.

This special issue aims to bring together these trends, providing a unified view of the research and applications concerning tiny scenarios.
