Abstract:

In key domains such as industrial internet, autonomous driving, and mobile computing, tasks and data often arrive online, characterized by their unpredictable presence, sequence, and timing. Meanwhile, network and computing environments exhibit dynamic spatiotemporal variations, demanding stringent requirements for low latency, high reliability, and privacy preservation. Consequently, deploying computational power and models closer to users and data sources is essential to enable real-time intelligent decision-making—achieving edge intelligence on resource-constrained edge devices. This talk will present our latest research on the theory and applications of edge intelligence, covering advancements in data caching, task scheduling, model inference, and related areas.
