Accelerating data science at the Alan Turing Institute with Microsoft Azure
Researchers at the Alan Turing Institute in the United Kingdom are using artificial intelligence and machine learning to push the state of the art in data science to better understand what makes us happy, angry…
Project
On-device ML for Object and Activity Detection
To process data locally, we have accelerated ML computations via ASICs that incorporate efficient pipelining and parallelism techniques. We have also compressed ML models by scaling their bit-precision values.
Project
Pose Tracking with Wearable and Ambient Devices
Summary Analyzing human motion with high autonomy requires advanced capabilities in sensing, communication, energy management and AI. Wearable systems help us go beyond external cameras enabling motion analysis in the wild. However, such systems are still…
