• Abstract: The rise of mobile AI accelerators allows latency-sensitive applications to execute lightweight Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) on the client side. However, critical applications require powerful models that edge devices cannot host and must therefore offload requests, where the high-dimensional data will compete for limited bandwidth. This work proposes shifting away from focusing on executing shallow layers of partitioned DNNs. Instead, it advocates concentrating the local resources on variational compression optimized for machine interpretability. We introduce a novel framework for resource-conscious compression models and extensively evaluate our method in an environment reflecting the asymmetric resource distribution between edge devices and servers. Our method achieves 60% lower bitrate than a state-of-the-art SC method without decreasing accuracy and is up to 16x faster than offloading with existing codec standards.

  It is important to develop an adaptive approach that maximizes the inference performance of machine learning applications under timing constraints. In this paper, we use image classification as our target application and propose progressive neural compression (PNC) as an efficient solution to this problem. We demonstrate the benefits of PNC over state-of-the-art neural compression approaches and traditional compression methods on a testbed.

  Federated Learning (FL) is a privacy-preserving distributed learning framework where a server aggregates models updated by multiple devices without accessing their private datasets. In this paper, we introduce model pruning for HFL in wireless networks to reduce the neural network scale. We show that our proposed HFL with model pruning achieves similar learning accuracy compared with the HFL without model pruning and reduces about 50 percent communication cost.
