• Abstract summary: We focus on the inference of neural networks running in microcontrollers and low-power processors. We adapted an existing convolutional-recurrent neural network to detect and classify cardiac arrhythmias. We show our implementation in fixed-point precision, using the CMSIS-NN libraries, with a memory footprint of 195.6KB, and a throughput of 33.98MOps/s.

• Abstract: Low-power sensing technologies, such as wearables, have emerged in the healthcare domain since they enable continuous and non-invasive monitoring of physiological signals. In order to endow such devices with clinical value, classical signal processing has encountered numerous challenges. However, data-driven methods, such as machine learning, offer attractive accuracies at the expense of being resource and memory demanding. In this paper, we focus on the inference of neural networks running in microcontrollers and low-power processors which wearable sensors and devices are generally equipped with. In particular, we adapted an existing convolutional-recurrent neural network, designed to detect and classify cardiac arrhythmias from a single-lead electrocardiogram, to the low-power embedded System-on-Chip nRF52 from Nordic Semiconductor with an ARM's Cortex-M4 processing core. We show our implementation in fixed-point precision, using the CMSIS-NN libraries, yields a drop of $F_1$ score from 0.8 to 0.784, from the original implementation, with a memory footprint of 195.6KB, and a throughput of 33.98MOps/s.

We propose a new benchmark for computing tactile pattern recognition at the edge through letters reading. We trained and compared feed-forward and recurrent spiking neural networks (SNNs) offline using back-propagation through time with surrogate gradients, then we deployed them on the Intel Loihimorphic chip for efficient inference. Our results show that the LSTM outperforms the recurrent SNN in terms of accuracy by 14%. However, the recurrent SNN on Loihi is 237 times more energy
