Speakers: Owen Nicholson & Paul Brasnett, SLAMCore
Spatial AI is the term we use to describe the technologies necessary to give an autonomous robot or drone full awareness of its pose combined with the geometry and semantic understanding of the world around it. At the core of spatial AI is VI-SLAM (visual-inertial simultaneous localisation and mapping), which fuses image and IMU sensor data to understand the world. The algorithms to perform VI-SLAM are computationally demanding and are challenging to implement on embedded processors such as Arm A-class processors.
In this talk we will:

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are the de facto tool for solving complex problems, from DNA sequencing to facial recognition. However, DNNs require extensive computing power, memory and expertise to deploy in real world environments. We will discuss various approaches to DNN model optimization for multiple objectives like inference latency, accuracy, and model size to make deep learning more applicable for ARM microcontrollers and low-power devices. Please come with your questions and we'll have an open mic session to let you engage with the speaker.
Speakers: Naveen Suda, Arm; Lingchuan Meng, Arm
Neural Networks have seen tremendous success in interpreting the signals from our physical world, such as vision, voice, and vibration. However, the unprecedented intelligence brought by the neural networks only becomes significant when we deploy them on ubiquitous mobile and IoT devices. Resource constraints of hardware and diverse ML features call for a new and critical component on top of the traditional end-to-end development process: model optimization and deployment. We envision that efficient ML inference lies in the co-development between models, algorithms, software, hardware. Model optimizations serve as an introduction to this process. The first in a planned series, this talk from our Arm engineers provides an overview of model optimization and deployment.
Speaker: Dr. Nitin Gupta, Dori AI
Every enterprise has blind spots that impact their business because of a lack of real-time visibility into people, assets, and workflows. The majority of the tasks still go unmonitored and thus improving productivity is a high priority for all enterprises. AI and computer vision have enabled many enterprises to gain actionable insights through a mechanism called visual process automation (VPA). Enterprises are looking to embedded computer vision to provide the visual intelligence required for their IoT applications. The challenge with most VPA solutions is that they are inherently biased.
Recent analyses of public domain ML models have revealed that many of them are inherently biased. This bias originates from the image and video datasets that were used to originally train the model. The lack of access to volumes of quality data is the reason why many enterprises are seeing biased results from their computer vision models. Enterprises are looking for solutions to enable their ML solutions to be more accurate, robust, and unbiased.
In this talk, we will introduce a structured methodology to address the issue of data and model bias that may be inherent in the ML models you are building. We will provide insights into techniques that help to answer the following questions:
Speaker: James Conroy, Arm
Increasingly, devices are performing AI at the furthest point in the system – on the edge or endpoint devices. As the industry-leading foundation for intelligent computing, Arm’s ML technologies give developers the comprehensive hardware IP, software, and ecosystem platform.
Arm NN is an accelerated inference engine for Arm CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs. It executes ML algorithms on-device to make predictions based on input data. Arm NN enables efficient translation of existing neural network frameworks, such as TensorFlow Lite, TensorFlow, ONNX, and Caffe, allowing them to run efficiently and without modification across Arm Cortex-A CPUs, Mali GPUs, and Ethos-N NPUs.
In this technical session, we are going to give you an overview of Arm NN with a focus on its plug-in framework. The audience will walk away with a working knowledge of using Arm NN to run ML models with accelerated performance on a mobile phone or a Raspberry Pi, and writing plug-ins to extend support for new neural network processing units.

Speaker: Francois de Rochebouet, Cartesiam.ai
Cartesiam will demystify artificial intelligence and all the complexity that comes with it, to the embedded developers community. Even without any prior AI skills, developers can use Cartesiam’s NanoEdge AI Studio to quickly and easily integrate ML algorithms with a broad range of applications on Arm-based low-power microcontrollers. AI Studio also enables on-device learning of a nominal behavior and is capable of detecting any variation of this behavior, even in a complex and “noisy” environment. In this session, we will demonstrate how to generate a custom learning library and use it to perform anomaly detection on an STmicroelectronics development board.
Speakers: Fredrik Knutsson, Arm; Felix Johnny, Arm
Deep Neural Networks are becoming increasingly popular in always-on endpoint devices. Developers can perform data analytics right at the source, with reduced latency as well as energy consumption. We will introduce how Tensorflow Lite for Microcontrollers (TFLu) and its integration with CMSIS-NN maximize the performance of machine learning applications. Developers can now run larger, more complex neural networks on Arm MCUs and micro NPUs while reducing memory footprint and inference time.
Speakers: Anthony Huereca, Systems Engineer, Edge Processing, NXP; Kobus Marneweck, Senior Product Manager, Arm
Machine learning inference is impacting a wide range of markets and devices, especially low power microcontrollers and power-constrained devices for IoT applications. These devices can often only consume milliwatts of power, and therefore not achieve the traditional power requirements of cloud-based approaches. By performing inference on-device, ML can be enabled on these IoT endpoints delivering greater responsiveness, security and privacy while reducing network energy consumption, latency and bandwidth usage.
This talk between Arm and NXP's MCU product managers and engineers will explain how developers can efficiently implement and accelerate ML on extremely low-power, low-area Cortex-M based devices with open-source software libraries and tools. The discussion will include a demo on the i.MX RT1060 crossover MCU to show how to create and deploy ML applications at the edge.
