tinyML Research Symposium 2023

Tiny machine learning (tinyML) is a fast-growing field of machine learning technologies enabling on-device sensor data analytics at extremely low power, typically in the milliwatt range and below. The tinyML ecosystem is fueled by (i) current applications in vision and audio that are already becoming mainstream and commercially available; (ii) emerging low-power commercial applications and new systems concepts on the horizon; (iii) significant progress on algorithms, networks, and models down to 100 kB and below; and (iv) optimized hardware platforms, processor architectures and circuit concepts for extreme energy efficiency and hard real-time operation. There is growing momentum demonstrated by technical progress and ecosystem development in all of these areas. The tinyML research symposium serves as a flagship venue for related research at the intersection of machine learning applications, algorithms, software, and hardware in deeply embedded machine learning systems.

The tinyML Research Symposium is held in conjunction with the tinyML Summit, the premier annual gathering of senior level technical experts and decision makers representing the global tinyML community.
