description Workshop Objective
As artificial intelligence and other forms of cognitive computing continue to proliferate into new domains, many forums for dialogue and knowledge sharing have emerged. In the proposed workshop, the primary focus is on the exploration of energy efficient techniques and architectures for cognitive computing and machine learning, particularly for applications and systems running at the edge. For such resource constrained environments, performance alone is never sufficient, requiring system designers to carefully balance performance with power, energy, and area (overall PPA metric).
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers who are exploring novel ideas in the field of energy efficient machine learning and artificial intelligence for a variety of applications. We also hope to provide a solid platform for forging relationships and exchange of ideas between the industry and the academic world through discussions and active collaborations.
