MCU Process Vital Sign Acquisition using Contactless Doppler Radar

Abstract

Recently a lot of researchers have investigated Vital Sign Acquisition by Medical Doppler Radar. The vital sign can be acquired contactless manner so that we can easily acquire the vital signs rather than contactless system such as ECC or PPG. This paper demonstrates the signal processing of the vital sign signals on time domain and peak detection. The process is so light that low performance MCU can process them to acquire the vital signs at fast time.

AI-empowered Edge Computing with Efficient and Secure Distributed Learning

Abstract

By “moving” computing resources closer to users and infrastructure, edge computing has become an enabler of new emerging services and smart infrastructures like intelligent transportations, industry automation, real-time gaming, virtual/augmented reality. This talk explores how recent advances in distributed learning (DL) can empower edge computing to turn existing infrastructure into smart one with augmented intelligence. Specifically, we first discuss hurdles like low-latency requirement, straggling effect, and users’ security-related risks of DL in wireless edge networks. We then present potential solutions by leveraging coded computing, network economics to address the straggling problem, protect users' privacy, and incentivize users to efficiently contribute to the learning process. We will also present an in-network computation framework to enable large-scale distributed learning systems in wireless edge networks.
