Abstract:

Artificial intelligence models will continue to be pervasively deployed to
support diverse intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) applications in the
5G/6G era. Many such applications rely on deep neural networks (DNN) for
object classification. In this presentation, DNN inference uses a
pre-trained DNN model to process an input data sample such as raw sensing
data, and generates a classification result. We will discuss when to
offload DNN inference computation from resource constrained IoT devices to
the edge and how to incorporate different contributions from multiple
random DNN inference results to improve task classification accuracy,
while achieving high transmission, computation, and energy resource
utilization.
