- Authors: Thomas Strypsteen and Alexander Bertrand
- Abstract summary: We propose a dynamic sensor selection approach for deep neural networks (DNNs)
It is able to derive an optimal sensor subset selection for each specific input sample instead of a fixed selection for the entire dataset.
We show how we can use this dynamic selection to increase the lifetime of a wireless sensor network (WSN) by imposing constraints on how often each node is allowed to transmit.

- Abstract: We propose a dynamic sensor selection approach for deep neural networks
(DNNs), which is able to derive an optimal sensor subset selection for each
specific input sample instead of a fixed selection for the entire dataset. This
dynamic selection is jointly learned with the task model in an end-to-end way,
using the Gumbel-Softmax trick to allow the discrete decisions to be learned
through standard backpropagation. We then show how we can use this dynamic
selection to increase the lifetime of a wireless sensor network (WSN) by
imposing constraints on how often each node is allowed to transmit. We further
improve performance by including a dynamic spatial filter that makes the
task-DNN more robust against the fact that it now needs to be able to handle a
multitude of possible node subsets. Finally, we explain how the selection of
the optimal channels can be distributed across the different nodes in a WSN. We
validate this method on a use case in the context of body-sensor networks,
where we use real electroencephalography (EEG) sensor data to emulate an EEG
sensor network. We analyze the resulting trade-offs between transmission load
and task accuracy.
