In many industry scale applications, large and resource consuming machine learning models reside in powerful cloud servers. At the same time, large amounts of input data are collected at the edge of cloud. The inference results are also communicated to users or passed to downstream tasks at the edge. The edge often consists of a large number of low-power devices. It is a big challenge to design industry products to support sophisticated deep model deployment and conduct model inference in an efficient manner so that the model accuracy remains high and the end-to-end latency is kept low. This paper describes the techniques and engineering practice behind Auto-Split, an edge-cloud collaborative prototype of Huawei Cloud. This patented technology is already validated on selected applications, is on its way for broader systematic edge-cloud application integration, and is being made available for public use as an automated pipeline service for end-to-end cloud-edge collaborative intelligence deployment. To the best of our knowledge, there is no existing industry product that provides the capability of Deep Neural Network (DNN) splitting.

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are considered an integral part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Their impact, and far-reaching consequences, while acknowledged, are yet to be comprehended. These technologies are very specialized, an
d few organizations and select highly trained professionals have the wherewithal, in terms of money, manpower, and might, to chart the future. However, concentration of power can lead to marginalization, causing severe inequalities. Regulatory agencies and governments across the globe are creating national policies, and laws around these technologies to protect the rights of the digital citizens, as well as to empower them. Even private, not-for-profit organizations are also contributing to democratizing the technologies by making them emph{accessible} and emph{affordable}. However, accessibility and affordability are all but a few of the facets of democratizing the field. Others include, but not limited to, emph{portability}, emph{explainability}, emph{credibility}, emph{fairness}, among others. As one can imagine, democratizing AI is a multi-faceted problem, and it requires advancements in science, technology and policy. At texttt{mlsquare}, we are developing scientific tools in this space. Specifically, we introduce an opinionated, extensible, texttt{Python} framework that provides a single point of interface to a variety of solutions in each of the categories mentioned above. We present the design details, APIs of the framework, reference implementations, road map for development, and guidelines for contributions.
We introduce a collaborative learning framework allowing multiple parties having different sets of attributes about the same user to jointly build models without exposing their raw data or model parameters. In particular, we propose a Federated Stoch
astic Block Coordinate Descent (FedBCD) algorithm, in which each party conducts multiple local updates before each communication to effectively reduce the number of communication rounds among parties, a principal bottleneck for collaborative learning problems. We analyze theoretically the impact of the number of local updates and show that when the batch size, sample size, and the local iterations are selected appropriately, within $T$ iterations, the algorithm performs $mathcal{O}(sqrt{T})$ communication rounds and achieves some $mathcal{O}(1/sqrt{T})$ accuracy (measured by the average of the gradient norm squared). The approach is supported by our empirical evaluations on a variety of tasks and datasets, demonstrating advantages over stochastic gradient descent (SGD) approaches.
General AI system solves a wide range of tasks with high performance in an automated fashion. The best general AI algorithm designed by one individual is different from that devised by another. The best performance records achieved by different users
are also different. An inevitable component of general AI is tacit knowledge that depends upon user-specific comprehension of task information and individual model design preferences that are related to user technical experiences. Tacit knowledge affects model performance but cannot be automatically optimized in general AI algorithms. In this paper, we propose User-Oriented Smart General AI System under Causal Inference, abbreviated as UOGASuCI, where UOGAS represents User-Oriented General AI System and uCI means under the framework of causal inference. User characteristics that have a significant influence upon tacit knowledge can be extracted from observed model training experiences of many users in external memory modules. Under the framework of causal inference, we manage to identify the optimal value of user characteristics that are connected with the best model performance designed by users. We make suggestions to users about how different user characteristics can improve the best model performance achieved by users. By recommending updating user characteristics associated with individualized tacit knowledge comprehension and technical preferences, UOGAS helps users design models with better performance.
Collaborative AI systems aim at working together with humans in a shared space to achieve a common goal. This setting imposes potentially hazardous circumstances due to contacts that could harm human beings. Thus, building such systems with strong as
surances of compliance with requirements domain specific standards and regulations is of greatest importance. Challenges associated with the achievement of this goal become even more severe when such systems rely on machine learning components rather than such as top-down rule-based AI. In this paper, we introduce a risk modeling approach tailored to Collaborative AI systems. The risk model includes goals, risk events and domain specific indicators that potentially expose humans to hazards. The risk model is then leveraged to drive assurance methods that feed in turn the risk model through insights extracted from run-time evidence. Our envisioned approach is described by means of a running example in the domain of Industry 4.0, where a robotic arm endowed with a visual perception component, implemented with machine learning, collaborates with a human operator for a production-relevant task.
The ubiquitous use of IoT and machine learning applications is creating large amounts of data that require accurate and real-time processing. Although edge-based smart data processing can be enabled by deploying pretrained models, the energy and memo
ry constraints of edge devices necessitate distributed deep learning between the edge and the cloud for complex data. In this paper, we propose a distributed AI system to exploit both the edge and the cloud for training and inference. We propose a new architecture, MEANet, with a main block, an extension block, and an adaptive block for the edge. The inference process can terminate at either the main block, the extension block, or the cloud. The MEANet is trained to categorize inputs into easy/hard/complex classes. The main block identifies instances of easy/hard classes and classifies easy classes with high confidence. Only data with high probabilities of belonging to hard classes would be sent to the extension block for prediction. Further, only if the neural network at the edge shows low confidence in the prediction, the instance is considered complex and sent to the cloud for further processing. The training technique lends to the majority of inference on edge devices while going to the cloud only for a small set of complex jobs, as determined by the edge. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated via extensive experiments using modified models of ResNets and MobileNetV2 on CIFAR-100 and ImageNet datasets. The results show that the proposed distributed model has improved accuracy and energy consumption, indicating its capacity to adapt.
