WARD is a runtime‑adaptive Vision Transformer framework designed for edge AI that combines channel‑wise subnetwork partitioning, reliability‑aware continual learning, and dynamic operating‑mode scheduling. It operates two physically isolated subnetworks across four modes—Full‑Precision, Low‑Power, High‑Reliability, and Adaptive—to balance computational cost and fault tolerance while maintaining uninterrupted inference. Implemented on a lightweight FPGA accelerator with minimal area overhead, WARD achieves a network‑level failure rate of 1.79% under high Bit Error Rates and supports rapid mode transitions within a few clock cycles.
TreeFI is a value‑aware statistical fault‑injection technique for FP32 single‑bit faults in deep neural network activations and weights. It partitions each layer’s value distribution into intervals with similar expected bit‑flip behavior using regression trees, then allocates injections across these intervals based on their relevance for failure‑rate estimation. This stratified approach preserves target confidence and error margins while dramatically reducing the required injection budget—up to 72.1× for activations and 11.2× for weights compared to existing baselines.
