arXiv:2602. 23334v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural network accelerators have been widely applied to edge devices for complex tasks like object tracking, image recognition, etc.
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. 24568v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learned feature reweighting can improve automatic modulation classification (AMC) in software, but the same operation introduces additional arithmetic and latency when implemented on an FPGA.
arXiv:2607. 09680v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continuous cardiac monitoring in wearable devices demands classifiers that are simultaneously accurate, energy-efficient, and deployable on resource-constrained hardware.
arXiv:2606. 17249v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The dominant trajectory of modern machine learning has been to scale up: larger models, larger accelerators, larger memory budgets.
The study evaluates the portability of INT8 post‑training quantization across seven hardware platforms, including CPUs, GPUs, and vendor NPUs, by keeping the ONNX model and quantization scales constant. It finds that INT8 performance and output consistency vary significantly: CPU dot‑product instructions determine speedup, identical INT8 outputs only occur when integer kernels match, and vendor NPUs require their own quantization pipelines. The authors also show that edge‑NPU latency is dominated by data transfer rather than compute and provide scripts and reports for reproducibility.

arXiv:2607. 21130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: By leveraging standard RISC-V extensions, namely Zfh (scalar float16) and Zvfh (vector float16), this work proposes an open-source framework to enable complete on-device training on resource-constrained RISC-V single-core.
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.
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) object detection requires compact detectors that retain small-object details under onboard computation and memory constraints. Repeated downsampling inlightweight networks weakens shallow spatial information, while manually adding attention orfusion modules may increase cost without stable gains.
arXiv:2608. 12140v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Boosted decision trees (BDTs) are widely used in latency-critical applications, but efficient hardware deployment remains challenging.
