The work on running data-intensive applications on very powerful, expensive, and power-hungry server hardware is very popular thanks to the growing size of data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) platforms. However, with the rise of new generation internet of things (IoT) applications, the lower-power and lower-budget hardware devices that specifically target IoT, the edge platforms, …

In this project, we would specifically like to quantify the data movement savings of applying techniques like compression and model-based data filtering in the context of resource-constrained hardware and edge/IoT applications. Today many data sources are small low-powered and hardware-constrained devices such as mobile phones, wearable or self-driving smart platforms, etc. Processing the data on …

One of the key challenges with enabling efficient machine learning on resource-constrained devices is keeping the machine learning models deployed on these devices up-to-date without frequent retraining. This requires exploring the impact of different model update mechanisms at the edge. This project would be suitable as a standalone project or BSc or MSc thesis at ITU during Fall 2024. If you are …

To enable efficient data processing and machine learning on resource-constrained devices has many challenges. One is fitting the models into the restrictive memory and compute resources of these devices. In this project, first, we would like to explore the landscape of foundational, generative-AI, language, etc. models with respect to their size and compute needs to understand what could be a fit …

Today many data sources are small low-powered and hardware-constrained devices such as mobile phones, wearable or self-driving smart platforms, etc. Edge computing is a broad term that refers to computations performed on such edge devices. It becomes increasingly important to enable techniques that get more value out of data at the edge rather than always sending the data to a remote and more …
