TALK TITLE: Efficient Deep Learning for Embedded Vision: Lightweight Models and Training Strategies
ABSTRACT: Recent advances in computer vision have been remarkable, driven by increasingly sophisticated deep learning architectures and the availability of massive datasets. These breakthroughs, however, come at the cost of intensive data collection and the need for powerful hardware, all requirements that are often incompatible with embedded systems. Indeed, in embedded devices, memory is limited, and computational resources are constrained due to the use of low-power chips, making on-device training impractical and even inference a significant challenge. This talk explores strategies to bring advanced computer vision capabilities to embedded platforms by leveraging lightweight and efficient neural network architectures, including binarized and quantized models. We will also discuss alternative training paradigms, such as continual learning, that enable models to incrementally adapt to new data while respecting tight resource budgets.
