A Brief Introduction to Edge Computing and Deep Learning

Welcome to my first blog on topics in artificial intelligence! Here I will introduce the topic of edge computing, with context in deep learning applications. This blog is largely adapted from a survey paper written by Xiaofei Wang et al.: Convergence of Edge Computing and Deep Learning: A Comprehensive Survey. If you're interested in learning more about any topic covered here, there are plenty of examples, figures, and explanations in the full 35 page survery: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp & arnumber 8976180 Now, before we begin, I'd like to take a moment and motivate why edge computing and deep learning can be very powerful when combined: Deep learning is becoming an increasingly-capable practice in machine learning that allows computers to detect objects, recognize speech, translate languages, and make decisions. More problems in machine learning are solved with the advanced techniques that researchers discover by the day.
