Abstract:
Green computing with a major emphasis placed on energy efficiency is vital for mobile multimedia devices or implanted medical systems, which disallow frequent replacement of the power supply. On the other h, kernel-based methods have recently dominated the world of machine learning. This talk proposes a beneficiary marriage between these two important fronts of technologies. We advocate a vertically integrated approach to green computing, combining both perspectives of the circuit-device system (machine learning) levels. Our goal is to expedite the retrieval processing time /or save the processing energy for on-line prediction/detection. First, we demonstrate that the knowledge on hardware device noise may be used to train an error-resilient classifier. Second, an SNR-based feature ion tool will be proposed as dimension reduction tool, which has advantage over the traditional PCA (principal component analysis). Third, it will be shown that the complexity hinges upon two factors (1) the number of basis functions induced by the kernel (2) the support vectors required to form the decision rule.
