Course Overview

Machine Learning systems are now widely used in distributed systems, taking advantage of the public cloud infrastructure. While more accurate ML models continue increasing in size, TinyML applications start to appear on the other end of the spectrum. From Alexa to smart bulbs, autonomous cars, security cameras and all kinds of smart sensors can now run small Neural Networks, opening a window of opportunity for new businesses never thought of before. 

In this course, we introduce the main concepts of Deep Learning and different types of Embedded systems which are currently used in the industry. Then we will explore the state-of-the-art techniques and frameworks to reduce the size of Neural Networks so that they can run in constrained devices. Finally, we show several hands-on examples which you can follow along and reproduce using your physical Development Kit if available. We will use an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, but you can use another similar device (at your own risk!) or just follow the videos along. 

At the end of this course, you will be able to describe in detail the most common methods used to compress Deep Neural Networks and apply some of them in real-life applications. This may be your first step in landing a new cool job in AIoT, the intersection of AI and IoT, or creating a new business opportunity with an innovative product!
