Mallik P. Moturi, Chief Business Officer, Syntiant
Deep learning is the most effective method of artificial intelligence for interpreting patterns and classifying them for the real world. However, due to the computational complexity, it is usually relegated to the realm of energy hungry GPUs and CPUs, making it difficult to realize on edge devices. Syntiant’s Core 2 Neural Decision Processors (NDP) are optimally designed for deploying deep learning models on the edge, where power and area are often constrained.
In this talk, we will briefly touch on some of the challenges of the edge and how Syntiant’s NDP architecture can best be utilized to address these challenges.
Mitsuo Baba, Senior Director, Renesas
Recently, AI implementation in embedded computing is accelerating rapidly in all markets. In the ever-evolving AI technology, there are three key requirements for deploying AI functions "flexibility," "power efficiency," and "real-time operation." In this session, Renesas will explain the importance of these requirements and introduce solutions by the ready-to-use RZ family.
Omar Oreifej, Director, Computer Vision and Machine Learning, Synaptics
In this talk, we will share our experience in developing computer vision models for low power AI at the edge. We will illustrate some techniques which greatly reduced the effort in producing representative annotated training data.

Join BrainChip as they discuss the convergence of AI with the proliferation of sensors — bringing scalable and effective AI to the sensor and beyond.
Scott Castle, Director, Innovation & Emerging Technologies Lexmark
For enterprises, building a good model is the start of operationalizing. Stakeholders across an organization, from IT to finance to field service, will ask challenging questions about the security, return on investment, and ongoing support. Not only for the model, but for the accompanying hardware, firmware, application management, and device management, especially for geographically distributed instances. Lexmark's Optra platform is a commercialized offering solving these problems. When combined with Edge Impulse the realization of AI's potential to enhance Operations effectiveness is closer than ever.

If you’ve ever tried to run your ML applications outside of comfortable Wi-Fi range, you know how difficult IoT connectivity still is in 2022. The Blues Wireless Notecard solves this problem elegantly, by offering subscription-free cellular connectivity, on a secure system-on-module with a simple JSON API. The Notecard is the perfect companion to your ML applications, letting you focus on polishing your models, while allowing the Notecard to handle your connectivity needs.
In this workshop you’ll see how it all works. You’ll start by going through a hands-on tutorial to learn about the Notecard, and then see a real-world example of how to do ML inferencing on the edge while sending your results to a cloud dashboard. Plus, we might have an exciting new feature to demo for you live.
