• Abstract: One of the most pressing challenges prevalent in the steel manufacturing industry is the identification of surface defects. Early identification of casting defects can help boost performance, including streamlining production processes. Though, deep learning models have helped bridge this gap and automate most of these processes, there is a dire need to come up with lightweight models that can be deployed easily with faster inference times. This research proposes a lightweight architecture that is efficient in terms of accuracy and inference time compared with sophisticated pre-trained CNN architectures like MobileNet, Inception, and ResNet, including vision transformers. Methodologies to minimize computational requirements such as depth-wise separable convolution and global average pooling (GAP) layer, including techniques that improve architectural efficiencies and augmentations, have been experimented. Our results indicate that a custom model of 590K parameters with depth-wise separable convolutions outperformed pretrained architectures such as Resnet and Vision transformers in terms of accuracy (81.87%) and comfortably outdid architectures such as Resnet, Inception, and Vision transformers in terms of faster inference times (12 ms). Blurpool fared outperformed other techniques, with an accuracy of 83.98%. Augmentations had a paradoxical effect on the model performance. No direct correlation between depth-wise and 3x3 convolutions on inference time, they, however, they played a direct role in improving model efficiency by enabling the networks to go deeper and by decreasing the number of trainable parameters. Our work sheds light on the fact that custom networks with efficient architectures and faster inference times can be built without the need of relying on pre-trained architectures.

• Towards Practical Lipreading with Distilled and Efficient Models [57.41253104365274]
  Lipreading has witnessed a lot of progress due to the resurgence of neural networks. Recent works have placed emphasis on aspects such as improving performance by finding the optimal architecture or improving generalization. There is still a significant gap between the current methodologies and the requirements for an effective deployment of lipreading in practical scenarios. We propose a series of innovations that significantly bridge that gap: first, we raise the state-of-the-art performance by a wide margin on LRW and LRW-1000 to 88.5% and 46.6%, respectively using self-distillation.

  Existing neural network models capable of solving this task are heavily parameterized. To enable Dense Pose inference on the end device with current models, one needs to support an expensive server-side infrastructure and have a stable internet connection.
