FeatureFormer is a neural performance predictor that adds explicit node-wise encodings of FLOPs, parameter counts, and memory proxies to a gated graph attention architecture. It is designed to improve latency and energy prediction for neural networks on edge devices, addressing the limitation of existing GNN and transformer predictors that largely ignore node-level computational cost. The authors also introduce NNEQ, a large-scale energy consumption dataset, and show through extensive experiments that FeatureFormer achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance across both metrics, including challenging out‑of‑domain settings, while the encoding can broadly enhance existing predictors with negligible overhead.
arXiv:2607. 06982v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated encouraging results in image classification tasks.
The paper introduces EMMI, a framework that enables communication‑efficient inference of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on edge devices. EMMI encodes each sensor modality separately, fuses the representations, and compresses them into a compact latent vector that is transmitted to a server for high‑capacity reasoning. Experiments on a multimodal benchmark show that EMMI can cut the communication payload by 32× while keeping accuracy comparable, achieving up to a 3.4× reduction in end‑to‑end inference latency under bandwidth‑constrained conditions.
GaLe is a memory‑efficient technique that allows pretrained neural networks to run on resource‑constrained devices without retraining. It splits feature maps into a local exact component that keeps fine details and a global approximate component that preserves long‑range dependencies, enabling global operations and attention mechanisms typical of hybrid CNN‑transformer models. On ImageNet, GaLe matches exact‑inference accuracy while delivering up to 65% speedup and 90% RAM reduction on a Cortex‑M33, and it works across classification, detection, and generation tasks.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated encouraging results in image classification tasks. However, the prohibitive computational cost of CNNs hinders the deployment of CNNs onto resource-constrained embedded devices.
The paper presents a rapid pipeline for training and deploying machine‑learning models on the WeBe Band, a wrist‑worn wearable device. It automates the creation of hardware‑efficient models, integrates with the Piccolo AI ecosystem, and supports OTA deployment while profiling latency and memory usage. Experimental results show trade‑offs between classical models and lightweight neural networks for real‑time performance on a microcontroller.
arXiv:2607. 18101v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-device model adaptation is essential to enable lifelong personalization on resource-constrained hardware, but compute, power, and memory limitations of such devices make end-to-end backpropagation impractical for modern deep neural networks.
Deep neural networks have witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years and have become integral to various applications. However, alongside these developments, training and deployment of neural network models on embedding and edge devices face significant challenges due to limited memory and computational resources.
The paper presents a novel multi‑exit computational scheme for TinyML on an ultra‑low‑power GAP9 SoC, adding confidence‑based gating points to a MobileNetV2 CNN for ImageNet‑100. By allowing inference to stop early, the approach cuts average MAC operations by 41 % (from 313 MMAC to 185 MMAC), reduces inference time by 29 % (49 ms to 35 ms), and saves 24 % in energy (2.1 mJ to 1.6 mJ per frame) with only a ~1 % drop in accuracy. Compared to a state‑of‑the‑art adaptive CNN on the same hardware, the method more than doubles computational efficiency, raising MAC/cycle from 8.1 to 17.2.
