Model Optimization for Edge Devices
Research gap analysis derived from 2 computer_science papers in our local library.
The gap
There is a need to optimize deep learning models using techniques such as pruning, quantization, and knowledge distillation specifically for deployment on mobile and edge devices, including ARM-based processors and embedded systems.
Consensus across the literature
The papers collectively establish that current models are not optimized for real-time and resource-constrained environments but leave open the specific optimization techniques and their performance on these devices.
