Data Science & Analytics
Module-by-module breakdown of Edge AI Course | Learn AI Deployment on Edge Device, from foundations to a certified capstone project.
Motivation
โข Latency, privacy, bandwidth and offline operation as the real drivers of on-device inference
โข The round-trip cost of a cloud call, and the workloads where it is unacceptable
โข Where edge is the wrong choice โ large models, infrequent inference, abundant connectivity
Compression
โข Post-training quantization and quantization-aware training (INT8) and the accuracy they cost
โข Pruning and knowledge distillation, and how far each shrinks a network before it breaks
โข Reading a size/latency/accuracy trade-off curve instead of chasing one number
Hardware
โข MCUs, single-board computers and accelerators โ ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, Coral Edge TPU
โข RAM, flash and the operator support that decide whether a model will even load
โข TensorFlow Lite, TFLite Micro and ONNX Runtime as the deployment runtimes
Deployment
โข Exporting and converting a trained model, then benchmarking real latency and power draw
โข Thermal throttling and duty cycles โ the reason bench numbers do not hold in the field
โข Profiling memory and startup time to find the bottleneck that is not the model
Capstone
โข Deploying a vision or keyword-spotting model to a physical device end to end
โข Measuring accuracy on-device against the training figures, and explaining the gap
โข Over-the-air update and drift monitoring so the deployed model can be maintained
