ABSTRACT


Machine Learning, Deep Learning and AI are a technology that lots of enterprise are using to provide smarter services to their customer. Usually, data are acquired by sensors and then sent to a cloud or a remote server to perform inference and get the results. This is no longer the only way, in fact, commercial products are already available to offload the execution of ML and deep-Learning algorithms from the CPU of small devices. In this talk we will analyse some scenarios in which these accelerators, like Neural Compute Stick, can be useful in meeting design goals and allow the realization of smarter edge device.
