Advanced AI to manage your home appliances soon

New York: Deep learning — advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) which is involved with heavy-duty tasks like curating social media and serving Google search — can soon check your vitals or set your thermostat at home and monitor the Internet of Things (IoT).

The researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a system that could bring deep learning neural networks to new — and much smaller — places, like the tiny computer chips in wearable medical devices, household appliances, and the 250 billion other objects that constitute the IoT.

The system, called MCUNet, designs compact neural networks that deliver unprecedented speed and accuracy for deep learning on IoT devices, despite limited memory and processing power.
