DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\n\nProf. Yiran Chen\, IEEE CAS Distinguished Lecturer\
 n\nDuke University\, USA\n\nTitle:\n\nSoftware-Hardware Co-design of Edge 
 AI Systems\n\nAbstract:\n\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) has become pervasi
 ve in cloud and edge systems alike. However\, despite the time-sensitive n
 ature of many edge AI tasks\, such edge systems are resource constrained\,
  making the deployment of many large AI models on the edge unfeasible. Cro
 ss-layer optimizations bridge the gap between model size and edge resource
 s by (1) reducing the computation and memory cost of the model and (2) imp
 roving the performance and efficiency of the device. In this talk\, we pre
 sent an overview of our effort in boosting the deployment of AI in edge sy
 stems. We first introduce efficient AI models via hardware-friendly model 
 compression and topology-aware Neural Architecture Search to optimize qual
 ity-efficiency trade-off on AI models. Then\, we involve cross-optimized d
 esign of edge AI hardware using efficient dataflows\, sparse-skipping mech
 anisms\, and quantization. Lastly\, we demonstrate the capabilities of suc
 h AI models on a wide range of applications and scenarios\, such as Electr
 onic Design Automation (EDA) and reliable Machine Learning. Through the pr
 evious exploration\, we present our vision on the future challenges and op
 portunities of full-stack Edge AI.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Safari Research Gro
