The paper introduces ETHEREAL, the first accelerator for event-driven graph neural networks (EV‑GNNs) that can handle 640×480 resolution inputs. It achieves this through a neighbor‑parallel spline convolution engine and a 2D/3D‑split memory hierarchy that includes a novel region‑of‑interest spatiotemporal caching mechanism. Measurements show end‑to‑end inference latency of 25.6 µs and energy consumption of 1.7 µJ per event on state‑of‑the‑art workloads.

FLEET is a token‑based feature extractor that processes event camera data directly, using random Fourier features and cross‑attention to compress variable‑length event streams into fixed‑size latent representations. By decoupling inference cost from sensor resolution, it avoids the high compute and temporal blurring associated with CNN‑based grid aggregation. Experiments on a new high‑throughput benchmark show that FLEET outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods and remains robust across different observation frequencies.
The paper introduces sLoTh, a parameter‑efficient continual learning framework for sparse event‑based vision transformers. sLoTh freezes the backbone and limits plasticity to low‑rank attention updates (seLoRA) and shared neuronal threshold modulation, updating less than 1% of parameters without replay buffers. Experiments on CIFAR‑100, Tiny‑ImageNet, ImageNet‑100, and ImageNet‑R show competitive rehearsal‑free performance across up to 100 tasks while achieving roughly 6.5× lower energy consumption than dense vision transformers.

arXiv:2606. 20437v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Charged-particle tracking -- reconstructing trajectories from sparse detector measurements -- is a fundamental high-energy-physics inference problem and a canonical example of learning under extreme combinatorial ambiguity.
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.
Event cameras offer microsecond temporal resolution, low latency, and high dynamic range, making them attractive for robotics. However, labeled event-camera data for a specific robot and scene is scarce and expensive to collect, which slows the development of event-based perception and control.
