The ever-increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has created a new computing paradigm, called edge computing, where most of the computations are performed at the edge devices, rather than on centralized servers. An edge device is an electronic device that provides connections to service providers and other edge devices; typically, such devices have limited resources. Since edge devices are resource-constrained, the task of launching algorithms, methods, and applications onto edge devices is considered to be a significant challenge. In this paper, we discuss one of the most widely used machine learning methods, namely, Deep Learning (DL) and offer a short survey on the recent approaches used to map DL onto the edge computing paradigm. We also provide relevant discussions about selected applications that would greatly benefit from DL at the edge.

The introduction of the generative adversarial imitation learning (GAIL) algorithm has spurred the development of scalable imitation learning approaches using deep neural networks. The GAIL objective can be thought of as 1) matching the expert policy
s state distribution; 2) penalising the learned policys state distribution; and 3) maximising entropy. While theoretically motivated, in practice GAIL can be difficult to apply, not least due to the instabilities of adversarial training. In this paper, we take a pragmatic look at GAIL and related imitation learning algorithms. We implement and automatically tune a range of algorithms in a unified experimental setup, presenting a fair evaluation between the competing methods. From our results, our primary recommendation is to consider non-adversarial methods. Furthermore, we discuss the common components of imitation learning objectives, and present promising avenues for future research.
Deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms are predominantly evaluated by comparing their relative performance on a large suite of tasks. Most published results on deep RL benchmarks compare point estimates of aggregate performance such as mean and
median scores across tasks, ignoring the statistical uncertainty implied by the use of a finite number of training runs. Beginning with the Arcade Learning Environment (ALE), the shift towards computationally-demanding benchmarks has led to the practice of evaluating only a small number of runs per task, exacerbating the statistical uncertainty in point estimates. In this paper, we argue that reliable evaluation in the few run deep RL regime cannot ignore the uncertainty in results without running the risk of slowing down progress in the field. We illustrate this point using a case study on the Atari 100k benchmark, where we find substantial discrepancies between conclusions drawn from point estimates alone versus a more thorough statistical analysis. With the aim of increasing the fields confidence in reported results with a handful of runs, we advocate for reporting interval estimates of aggregate performance and propose performance profiles to account for the variability in results, as well as present more robust and efficient aggregate metrics, such as interquartile mean scores, to achieve small uncertainty in results. Using such statistical tools, we scrutinize performance evaluations of existing algorithms on other widely used RL benchmarks including the ALE, Procgen, and the DeepMind Control Suite, again revealing discrepancies in prior comparisons. Our findings call for a change in how we evaluate performance in deep RL, for which we present a more rigorous evaluation methodology, accompanied with an open-source library rliable, to prevent unreliable results from stagnating the field.
We introduce a novel design for in-situ training of machine learning algorithms built into smart sensors, and illustrate distributed training scenarios using radio frequency (RF) spectrum sensors. Current RF sensors at the Edge lack the computational
resources to support practical, in-situ training for intelligent signal classification. We propose a solution using Deepdelay Loop Reservoir Computing (DLR), a processing architecture that supports machine learning algorithms on resource-constrained edge-devices by leveraging delayloop reservoir computing in combination with innovative hardware. DLR delivers reductions in form factor, hardware complexity and latency, compared to the State-ofthe- Art (SoA) neural nets. We demonstrate DLR for two applications: RF Specific Emitter Identification (SEI) and wireless protocol recognition. DLR enables mobile edge platforms to authenticate and then track emitters with fast SEI retraining. Once delay loops separate the data classes, traditionally complex, power-hungry classification models are no longer needed for the learning process. Yet, even with simple classifiers such as Ridge Regression (RR), the complexity grows at least quadratically with the input size. DLR with a RR classifier exceeds the SoA accuracy, while further reducing power consumption by leveraging the architecture of parallel (split) loops. To authenticate mobile devices across large regions, DLR can be trained in a distributed fashion with very little additional processing and a small communication cost, all while maintaining accuracy. We illustrate how to merge locally trained DLR classifiers in use cases of interest.
Training of large-scale deep neural networks is often constrained by the available computational resources. We study the effect of limited precision data representation and computation on neural network training. Within the context of low-precision f
ixed-point computations, we observe the rounding scheme to play a crucial role in determining the networks behavior during training. Our results show that deep networks can be trained using only 16-bit wide fixed-point number representation when using stochastic rounding, and incur little to no degradation in the classification accuracy. We also demonstrate an energy-efficient hardware accelerator that implements low-precision fixed-point arithmetic with stochastic rounding.
We show that the classification performance of graph convolutional networks (GCNs) is related to the alignment between features, graph, and ground truth, which we quantify using a subspace alignment measure (SAM) corresponding to the Frobenius norm o
f the matrix of pairwise chordal distances between three subspaces associated with features, graph, and ground truth. The proposed measure is based on the principal angles between subspaces and has both spectral and geometrical interpretations. We showcase the relationship between the SAM and the classification performance through the study of limiting cases of GCNs and systematic randomizations of both features and graph structure applied to a constructive example and several examples of citation networks of different origins. The analysis also reveals the relative importance of the graph and features for classification purposes.
