Split Computing and Early Exiting for Deep Learning Applications: Survey and Research Challenges
Matsubara, Yoshitomo, Levorato, Marco, Restuccia, Francesco
Mobile devices such as smartphones and autonomous vehicles increasingly rely on deep neural networks (DNNs) to execute complex inference tasks such as image classification and speech recognition, among others. However, continuously executing the entire DNN on mobile devices can quickly deplete their battery. Although task offloading to cloud/edge servers may decrease the mobile device's computational burden, erratic patterns in channel quality, network, and edge server load can lead to a significant delay in task execution. Recently, approaches based on split computing (SC) have been proposed, where the DNN is split into a head and a tail model, executed respectively on the mobile device and on the edge server. Ultimately, this may reduce bandwidth usage as well as energy consumption. Another approach, called early exiting (EE), trains models to embed multiple "exits" earlier in the architecture, each providing increasingly higher target accuracy. Therefore, the trade-off between accuracy and delay can be tuned according to the current conditions or application demands. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the state of the art in SC and EE strategies by presenting a comparison of the most relevant approaches. We conclude the paper by providing a set of compelling research challenges.
The 13 Best Data Analytics Certifications Online for 2022
The editors at Solutions Review have compiled this list of the best data analytics certifications online to consider acquiring. Data analytics is a data science. The purpose of data analytics is to generate insights from data by connecting patterns and trends with organizational goals. Comparing data assets against organizational hypotheses is a common use case of data analytics, and the practice tends to be focused on business and strategy. With this in mind, we've compiled this list of the best data analytics certifications from leading online professional education platforms and notable universities.

Computationally efficient electromagnetic solver using AI
With the fast progress in forming more complex electromagnetic (EM) structures with many design parameters and large demand for real-time solution to complex EM problems in embedded devices, the need for a new EM solving approach that can keep pace with the computational requirements has become more imminent. This project aims at developing a novel computationally efficient EM solver which is implementable on systems with limited resources using physics-informed sparse deep neural network that solves partial differential forms of Maxwell's equations without relying on other computational EM solver solutions. The successful candidate will specifically develop signal processing and machine learning algorithms for a real-time electromagnetic solver. The selected candidate will be working within UQ's Electromagnetic Innovations team, led by Professor Amin Abbosh. The candidate will have access to the required simulation tools, and suitable computational resources.
Q&A: Cathy Wu on developing algorithms to safely integrate robots into our world
Cathy Wu is the Gilbert W. Winslow Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and a member of the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society. As an undergraduate, Wu won MIT's toughest robotics competition, and as a graduate student took the University of California at Berkeley's first-ever course on deep reinforcement learning. Now back at MIT, she's working to improve the flow of robots in Amazon warehouses under the Science Hub, a new collaboration between the tech giant and the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing. Outside of the lab and classroom, Wu can be found running, drawing, pouring lattes at home, and watching YouTube videos on math and infrastructure via 3Blue1Brown and Practical Engineering. She recently took a break from all of that to talk about her work.
When did Data Science Become Synonymous with Machine Learning?
Many folks just getting started with data science have an illusory idea of the field as a breeding ground where state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms are produced day after day, hour after hour, second after second. While it is true that getting to push out cool machine learning models is part of the work, it's far from the only thing you'll be doing as a data scientist. In reality, data science involves quite a bit of not-so-shiny grunt work to even make the available data corpus suitable for analysis. According to a Twitter poll conducted in 2019 by data scientist Vicki Boykis, fewer than 5% of respondents claimed to spend the majority of their time on ML models [1]. The largest percentage of data scientists said that most of their time was spent cleaning up the data to make it usable.
The Future of ID in an AI World
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are promising great things for learning. The potential here is impressive, but there also exist many questions and insecurities around deploying AI technology for learning: What can AI do? Where is it best utilized? And particularly: What does that leave for the instructional designer and other human roles in learning, such as coaching and training? We want to suggest that these developments are for the benefit of everyone--from organizational development strategy devised in the C-suite, via content creation/curation by instructional designers, right through to the learners, as well as coaches and trainers who work with the learners.
Quantum tech and AI company, Sandbox AQ, emerges from Alphabet
Did you miss a session at the Data Summit? Sandbox AQ, the Palo Alto, California-based enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that provides solutions at the intersection of quantum technology and artificial intelligence (AI), has emerged from Alphabet, Google's parent company, as an independent company. AQ represents AI and quantum -- the two major tools the company uses to tackle critical global issues. Sandbox AQ's mission to address global challenges in cybersecurity, healthcare, energy and more is in alignment with Gartner's Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2021. Gartner recognizes quantum technologies and AI as two of the key emerging technologies spurring innovation through trust, growth and change.
