Session Description

Edge and embedded machine learning (ML) is a growing field that helps solve unique problems in medicine, agriculture, industrial maintenance, and consumer electronics. However, it can be a difficult subject to cover, as it requires students to have a diverse background in machine learning, data science, high- and low-level programming, embedded systems, and digital signal processing.

This session will provide insights into designing an embedded ML curriculum for undergraduate and graduate students. We will examine low-code solutions that make embedded ML approachable for newcomers as well as loo ... (continued)
