Call for Graduate Research Assistant (GRA)


Project Description
Foreseeing a world of interconnected AI-empowered Internet of Things (IoT), this project is to build an
Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). Modern AI algorithms cannot be implemented effectively in the IoT
devices due to their limited computing resources and storage. On the other hand, limited network bandwidth
and latency delay the data transmission and affect the timeliness of training a deep learning model at the cloud
computing center. The research objectives are to (1) implement an energy-efficient AI algorithm on the edge
devices, (2) and to train the learning model effectively despite having only limited amount of data locally. To
achieve these objectives, this project proposes using the (1) Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) to provide
energy-efficient learning on edge devices, and (2) Federated Learning (FL) to train collaboratively a global
model for the distributed devices.
