Crossing the Hardware-Software Divide for Faster AI

Thursday, April 29, 2021 | 12pm – 1pm ET
Vivienne Sze, Song Han, Aude Oliva

AI applications are moving quickly to smartphones and low-power hand-held devices. To make the shift, both hardware and software will need to be redesigned for speed and efficiency. We will discuss leading strategies for achieving efficient AI by co-designing hardware and software for deep learning.

Presentation and panel discussion for this MIT Quest AI Roundtable with Vivienne Sze, Song Han and Aude Oliva (moderator) is available upon request (Samantha Smiley, smileys@mit.edu).
