• Authors: Roberto G. Pacheco, Rodrigo S. Couto and Osvaldo Simeone
• Abstract summary: Mobile devices can offload deep neural network (DNN)-based inference to the cloud, overcoming local hardware and energy limitations. This work shows that the employment of a miscalibrated early-exit DNN for offloading via model partitioning can significantly decrease inference accuracy. In contrast, we argue that implementing a calibration algorithm prior to deployment can solve this problem, allowing for more reliable offloading decisions.

• Abstract: Mobile devices can offload deep neural network (DNN)-based inference to the cloud, overcoming local hardware and energy limitations. However, offloading adds communication delay, thus increasing the overall inference time, and hence it should be used only when needed. An approach to address this problem consists of the use of adaptive model partitioning based on early-exit DNNs. Accordingly, the inference starts at the mobile device, and an intermediate layer estimates the accuracy: If the estimated accuracy is sufficient, the device takes the inference decision; Otherwise, the remaining layers of the DNN run at the cloud. Thus, the device offloads the inference to the cloud only if it cannot classify a sample with high confidence. This offloading requires a correct accuracy prediction at the device. Nevertheless, DNNs are typically miscalibrated, providing overconfident decisions. This work shows that the employment of a miscalibrated early-exit DNN for offloading via model partitioning can significantly decrease inference accuracy. In contrast, we argue that implementing a calibration algorithm prior to deployment can solve this problem, allowing for more reliable offloading decisions.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are powerful machine learning prediction models on graph-structured data. GNNs lack rigorous uncertainty estimates, limiting their reliable deployment in settings where the cost of errors is significant. We propose conformalized GNN (CF-GNN), extending conformal prediction (CP) to graph-based models for guaranteed uncertainty estimates.

  The prediction accuracy of the deep neural networks (DNNs) after deployment at the edge can suffer with time due to shifts in the distribution of the new data. Recent prediction-time unsupervised DNN adaptation techniques have been introduced that improve prediction accuracy of the models for noisy data by re-tuning the batch normalization parameters. This paper, for the first time, performs a comprehensive measurement study of such techniques to quantify their performance and energy on various edge devices.

  Emerging device-based Computing-in-memory (CiM) has been proved to be a promising candidate for high-energy efficiency deep neural network (DNN) computations. Most emerging devices suffer uncertainty issues, resulting in a difference between actual data stored and the weight value it is designed to be. This leads to an accuracy drop from trained models to actually deployed platforms.
