Bill Jenkins, Senior Product Specialist for High Level Design Tools at Intel, presents the "Accelerating Deep Learning Using Altera FPGAs" tutorial at the May 2016 Embedded Vision Summit.
While large strides have recently been made in the development of high-performance systems for neural networks based on multi-core technology, significant challenges in power, cost and, performance scaling remain. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are a natural choice for implementing neural networks because they can combine computing, logic, and memory resources in a single device. Intel's Programmable Solutions Group has developed a scalable convolutional neural network reference design for deep learning systems using the OpenCL programming language built with our SDK for OpenCL. The design performance is being benchmarked using several popular CNN benchmarks: CIFAR-10, ImageNet and KITTI.
Building the CNN with OpenCL kernels allows true scaling of the design from smaller to larger devices and from one device generation to the next. New designs can be sized using different numbers of kernels at each layer. Performance scaling from one generation to the next also benefits from architectural advancements, such as floating-point engines and frequency scaling. Thus, you achieve greater than linear performance and performance per watt scaling with each new series of devices.
In this deck from ATPESC 2019, James Moawad and Greg Nash from Intel present: FPGAs and Machine Learning.
"Neural networks are inspired by biological systems, in particular the human brain. Through the combination of powerful computing resources and novel architectures for neurons, neural networks have achieved state-of-the-art results in many domains such as computer vision and machine translation. FPGAs are a natural choice for implementing neural networks as they can handle different algorithms in computing, logic, and memory resources in the same device. Faster performance comparing to competitive implementations as the user can hardcore operations into the hardware. Software developers can use the OpenCL device C level programming standard to target FPGAs as accelerators to standard CPUs without having to deal with hardware level design."

Nick Ni, Director of Product Marketing at Xilinx, presents the "Xilinx AI Engine: High Performance with Future-proof Architecture Adaptability" tutorial at the May 2019 Embedded Vision Summit.
AI inference demands orders- of-magnitude more compute capacity than what today’s SoCs offer. At the same time, neural network topologies are changing too quickly to be addressed by ASICs that take years to go from architecture to production. In this talk, Ni introduces the Xilinx AI Engine, which complements the dynamically- programmable FPGA fabric to enable ASIC-like performance via custom data flows and a flexible memory hierarchy. This combination provides an orders-of-magnitude boost in AI performance along with the hardware architecture flexibility needed to quickly adapt to rapidly evolving neural network topologies.
Linux on RISC-V with Open Hardware (ELC-E 2020)Drew Fustini
Want to run Linux on open hardware? This talk will explore how the RISC-V, an open instruction set (ISA), and open source FPGA tools can be leveraged to achieve that goal. I will explain how myself and others at Hackaday Supercon teamed up to get Linux running on a RISC-V soft-core in the ECP5 FPGA on the conference badge. I will introduce Migen, LiteX and Vexriscv, and explain how they enabled us to quickly implement an SoC in the FPGA capable of running Linux. I will also explore other Linux-capable open source RISC-V implementations, and how some are being used in industry. I will highlight that OpenHW Group has adopted the PULP Ariane from ETH Zurich for its Core-V CVA64 implementation. Finally, I will look at what Linux-capable "hard" RISC-V SoC's currently exist, and what is on the horizon for 2020 and 2021. This talk is should be relevant to people who are interested in building open hardware systems capable of running Linux. It should also be useful to people who are curious about RISC-V. Software engineers may find it exciting to learn how Python can be used to for chip-level design with Migen and LiteX, and simplify building a System-on-Chip (SoC) for an FPGA.

Accelerating SparkML Workloads on the Intel Xeon+FPGA Platform with Srivatsan...Databricks
FPGA has recently gained attention throughout the industry because of its performance-per-power efficiency, re-programmable flexibility and wide range of applicableness. As a prediction to this phenomenon, Intel has been planning a new product line which offers a Xeon processor with integrated FPGA that will enable datacenters to easily deploy high-performance accelerators with a relatively low cost of ownership. The new Xeon+FPGA Platform is supported with a software ecosystem that eliminates the difficulties traditional FPGA devices had such as datacenter wide accelerator deployment.
In this session, Intel will present their design and implementation of FPGA as a supplement to vcores in Spark YARN mode to accelerate SparkML applications on the Intel Xeon+FPGA platform. In particular, they have added new options to Spark core that provides an interface for the user to describe the accelerator dependencies of the application. The FPGA info in the Spark context will be used by the new APIs and DRF policy implemented on YARN to schedule the Spark executor to a host with Xeon+FPGA installed.

Accelerating Spark Genome Sequencing in Cloud—A Data Driven Approach, Case St...Spark Summit
Spark data processing is shifting from on-premises to cloud service to take advantage of its horizontal resource scalability, better data accessibility and easy manageability. However, fully utilizing the computational power, fast storage and networking offered by cloud service can be challenging without deep understanding of workload characterizations and proper software optimization expertise. In this presentation, we will use a Spark based programing framework – Genome Analysis Toolkit version 4 (GATK4, under development), as an example to present a process of configuring and optimizing a proficient Spark cluster on Google Cloud to speed up genome data processing. We will first introduce an in-house developed data profiling framework named PAT, and discuss how to use PAT to quickly establish the best combination of VM configurations and Spark configurations to fully utilize cloud hardware resources and Spark computational parallelism. In addition, we use PAT and other data profiling tools to identify and fix software hotspots in application. We will show a case study in which we identify a thread scalability issue of Java Instanceof operator. The fix in Scala language hugely improves performance of GATK4 and other Spark based workloads.

Jilei Hou, Vice President of Engineering and Head of AI Research at Qualcomm Technologies, presents the “What’s Next in On-device Generative AI” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The generative AI era has begun! Large multimodal models are bringing the power of language understanding to machine perception, and transformer models are expanding to allow machines to understand using multiple types of sensors. This new wave of approaches is poised to revolutionize user experiences, disrupt industries and enable powerful new capabilities. For generative AI to reach its full potential, however, we must deploy it on edge devices, providing improved latency, pervasive interaction and enhanced privacy.
In this talk, Hou shares Qualcomm’s vision of the compelling opportunities enabled by efficient generative AI at the edge. He also identifies the key challenges that the industry must overcome to realize the massive potential of these technologies. And he highlights research and product development work that Qualcomm is doing to lead the way via an end-to-end system approach—including techniques for efficient on-device execution of LLMs, LVMs and LMMs, methods for orchestration of large models at the edge and approaches for adaptation and personalization.

Shuvra Bhattacharyya, Professor at the University of Maryland at College Park, presents the “Learning Compact DNN Models for Embedded Vision” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this talk, Bhattacharyya explores methods to transform large deep neural network (DNN) models into effective compact models. The transformation process that he focuses on—from large to compact DNN form—is referred to as pruning. Pruning involves the removal of neurons or parameters from a neural network. When performed strategically, pruning can lead to significant reductions in computational complexity without significant degradation in accuracy. It is sometimes even possible to increase accuracy through pruning.
Pruning provides a general approach for facilitating real-time inference in resource-constrained embedded computer vision systems. Bhattacharyya provides an overview of important aspects to consider when applying or developing a DNN pruning method and presents details on a recently introduced pruning method called NeuroGRS. NeuroGRS considers structures and trained weights jointly throughout the pruning process and can result in significantly more compact models compared to other pruning methods.

Parshad Patel, Data Scientist at Yummly, presents the “Selecting Tools for Developing, Monitoring and Maintaining ML Models” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
With the boom in tools for developing, monitoring and maintaining ML models, data science teams have many options to choose from. Proprietary tools provided by cloud service providers are enticing, but teams may fear being locked in—and may worry that these tools are too costly or missing important features when compared with alternatives from specialized providers.
Fortunately, most proprietary, fee-based tools have an open-source component that can be integrated into a home-grown solution at low cost. This can be a good starting point, enabling teams to get started with modern tools without making big investments and leaving the door open to evolve tool selection over time. In this talk, Patel presents a step-by-step process for creating an MLOps tool set that enables you to deliver maximum value as a data scientist. He shares how Yummly built pipelines for model development and put them into production using open-source projects.

Abdo Babukr, Accelerated Computing Consultant at Wave Spectrum, presents the “Building Accelerated GStreamer Applications for Video and Audio AI,” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
GStreamer is a popular open-source framework for creating streaming media applications. Developers often use GStreamer to streamline the development of computer vision and audio perception applications. Since perceptual algorithms are often quite demanding in terms of processing performance, in many cases developers need to find ways to accelerate key GStreamer building blocks, taking advantage of specialized features of their target processor or co-processor.
In this talk, Babukr introduces GStreamer and shows how to use it to build computer vision and audio perception applications. He also shows how to create efficient, high-performance GStreamer applications that utilize specialized hardware features.

Md Nasir Uddin Laskar, Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Walmart Global Tech, presents the “Understanding, Selecting and Optimizing Object Detectors for Edge Applications” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
Object detectors count objects in a scene and determine their precise locations, while also labeling them. Object detection plays a crucial role in many vision applications, from autonomous driving to smart appliances. In many of these applications, it’s necessary or desirable to implement object detection at the edge.
In this presentation, Laskar explores the evolution of object detection algorithms, from traditional approaches to deep learning-based methods and transformer-based architectures. He delves into widely used approaches for object detection, such as two-stage R-CNNs and one-stage YOLO algorithms, and examines their strengths and weaknesses. And he provides guidance on how to evaluate and select an object detector for an edge application.

Spyros Tragoudas, Professor and School Director at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, presents the “Detecting Data Drift in Image Classification Neural Networks” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
An unforeseen change in the input data is called “drift,” and may impact the accuracy of machine learning models. In this talk, Tragoudas presents a novel scheme for diagnosing data drift in the input streams of image classification neural networks. His proposed method for drift detection and quantification uses a threshold dictionary for the prediction probabilities of each class in the neural network model.
The method is applicable to any drift type in images such as noise and weather effects, among others. Tragoudas shares experimental results on various data sets, drift types and neural network models to show that his proposed method estimates the drift magnitude with high accuracy, especially when the level of drift significantly impacts the model’s performance.

Susan Kennedy, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Santa Clara University, presents the “Bias in Computer Vision—It’s Bigger Than Facial Recognition!” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
As AI is increasingly integrated into various industries, concerns about its potential to reproduce or exacerbate bias have become widespread. While the use of AI holds the promise of reducing bias, it can also have unintended consequences, particularly in high-stakes computer vision applications such as facial recognition. However, even seemingly low-stakes computer vision applications such as identifying potholes and damaged roads can also present ethical challenges related to bias.
This talk explores how bias in computer vision often poses an ethical challenge, regardless of the stakes involved. Kennedy discusses the limitations of technical solutions aimed at mitigating bias, and why “bias-free” AI may not be achievable. Instead, she focuses on the importance of adopting a “bias-aware” approach to responsible AI design and explores strategies that can be employed to achieve this.

Alex Thaman, Chief Architect at Red Cell Partners, presents the “Combating Bias in Production Computer Vision Systems” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
Bias is a critical challenge in predictive and generative AI that involves images of humans. People have a variety of body shapes, skin tones and other features that can be challenging to represent completely in training data. Without attention to bias risks, ML systems have the potential to treat people unfairly, and even to make humans more likely to do so.
In this talk, Thaman examines the ways in which bias can arise in visual AI systems. He shares techniques for detecting bias and strategies for minimizing it in production AI systems.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
