Summary

AI is very real and transforming every aspect of our lives and designers are already building AI / ML capabilities into a broad range of industrial, consumer and automotive systems. We’re going to talk about efficient, explainable AI for practical use-cases that will really add value when you think about adding AI and machine learning to an application. AI is often equated to a model but for most practical applications, AI is a lot more than building a model and generally, only about 5% of project costs are devoted to model development. So what else should is there to consider?

This presentation will cover:

  • The 3 key considerations to pick the right tool
    • Data sensitivity and sensor(s) with optimal mounting location(s)
    • Managing resource-constrained devices for cost optimization
    • Deterministic or black box approach, need to determine how your model will behave in the field
  • The many faces of Edge AI
  • Why Deep Learning isn't always the right answer
  • Deployment examples in a variety of non-visual applications
