Unfortunately, the power required to train and generate predictions with the neural networks is too high to be implemented in energy-constrained systems such as implants and edge devices. Many of these systems would significantly benefit from on-board neural networks that could respond to stimuli in real time. The important question that this work seeks to address is how to bring the game-changing power of neural networks closer to the edge of the internet of things without significant degradation of performance or battery life.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Overcoming Noise and Variations in Low-precision Neural Networks "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2021-04-19 10:38:34","changed_gmt":"2021-04-19 12:54:01","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-05-06T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-05-06T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-05-06T16:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-05-06 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-05-06 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-05-06 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
