Data-Efficient Deep Learning Guidelines for Inertial Sensor Classification
This study provides empirical guidelines for estimating the minimum training set size needed for deep learning models in inertial sensor classification tasks. It reveals that accuracy follows a consistent logarithmic growth pattern, allowing for data-efficient planning of recording campaigns and achieving practical stability with fewer samples than traditionally assumed.
On-Device Adaptive AI Boosts EV Battery Power Prediction
Researchers developed a novel approach for on-device learning in electric vehicles (EVs) that continuously adapts pretrained battery power prediction models to new data. This method significantly improves forecasting performance, reducing mean absolute errors by up to 14.88% with offline adaptation and 7.49% with online adaptation.
New Differentiable Logic Networks Outperform Fixed-Connection Models
Researchers introduce a novel method for optimizing connections in deep differentiable logic gate networks (LGNs) and lookup table networks (LUTNs), achieving superior performance with significantly fewer gates. The approach allows for parallel learning of optimal gate types and LUT entries, demonstrating improved accuracy on benchmarks like MNIST.
