arXiv:2606. 31938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying Vision Transformer (ViT) models on edge platforms remains challenging due to their high computational demands and the architectural heterogeneity of modern hybrid ViT models, which incorporate both fully connected and convolutional layers.
arXiv:2608. 00720v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mapping neural networks to FPGAs enables low-latency, energy-efficient inference, particularly for lookup table (LUT)-based models that eliminate multipliers and map directly to reconfigurable fabric.
This paper presents an energy-efficient hardware acceleration of the convolutional layers in the U-Net architecture for image segmentation, implemented on FPGA. While digit-serial arithmetic, particularly most-significant-digit-first (MSDF) techniques, offers a compact hardware footprint, it suffers from initial latency before producing the first output digit.
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.

arXiv:2608. 13141v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision Transformers (ViTs) demonstrate exceptional performance in computer vision but suffer from large parameter counts and quadratic computational complexity, severely limiting their deployment on resource-constrained edge hardware.
arXiv:2608. 11770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Edge-deployed vision systems in target recognition, surveillance, autonomous vehicles, and drone domains require hierarchical inference pipelines where a detection model identifies objects of interest and downstream classifiers provide fine-grained attribute analysis.
arXiv:2607. 02097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large kernel depthwise convolutions achieve strong performance but suffer from significant degradation as kernel size grows due to irregular memory access from gather-based computation; while Large Kernel Acceleration (LKA) helps on small feature maps, it becomes counterproductive on large feature maps, even slower than non-accelerated implementations.
