Document worth reading: “Machine Learning at the Network Edge: A Survey”

Devices comprising the Internet of Things, equal to sensors and small cameras, typically have small recollections and restricted computational power. The proliferation of such resource-constrained devices in current occasions has led to the expertise of huge parts of data. These data-producing devices are attention-grabbing targets for machine learning capabilities nonetheless battle to run machine learning algorithms as a consequence of their restricted computing performance. They typically offload enter data to exterior computing packages (equal to cloud servers) for extra processing. The outcomes of the machine learning computations are communicated once more to the resource-scarce devices, nonetheless this worsens latency, ends in elevated communication costs, and offers to privateness points. Therefore, efforts have been made to place additional computing devices at the fringe of the neighborhood, i.e close to the IoT devices the place the data is generated. Deploying machine learning packages on such edge devices alleviates the above factors by allowing computations to be carried out close to the data sources. This survey describes important evaluation efforts the place machine learning has been deployed at the fringe of laptop computer networks. Machine Learning at the Network Edge: A Survey
