Introduction to Edge AI
摘要
We are living in an unprecedented booming era of artificial intelligence (AI). Driving by the recent advancements of algorithms, computing power and big data, deep learning [171]—the most dazzling sector of AI—has made substantial breakthroughs in a wide spectrum of fields, ranging from computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing to chess playing (e.g., AlphaGo) and robotics [62]. Benefited from these breakthroughs, a set of intelligent applications, as exemplified by intelligent personal assistants, personalized shopping recommendation, video surveillance and smart home appliances, have quickly ascended to the spotlight and gained enormous popularity. It is widely recognized that these intelligent applications are significantly enriching people’s lifestyle, improving human productivity, and enhancing social efficiency.
