“System Imperatives for Audio and Video AI at the Edge,” a Presentation from Cisco

Chris Rowen, VP of AI Engineering for Webex Collaboration at Cisco, presents the “System Imperatives for Audio and Video AI at the Edge” tutorial at the May 2022 Embedded Vision Summit.

At long last, we are past the hype stage for media AI. Audio and video machine learning are becoming common tools for embedded hardware and software engineers. But are designers really using ML right? Are architects intelligently partitioning ML solutions between the cloud, user edge platforms and embedded compute components? Do they understand how to effectively combine deep-learning-based and conventional audio and video algorithms? Are they creating interfaces that enable their products to evolve in response to market needs?

In this talk, Rowen explores the conflicting currents pushing ML to the cloud and to the edge. He examines how the challenges of power, cost, compute, memory footprint, security and application autonomy affect different classes of audio and video devices and systems. He outlines strategies for teams planning new ML hardware and software to avoid some of the critical pitfalls and achieve better balance among time-to-market, application flexibility and system efficiency.
