Current TinyML workﬂows are plagued by fragmented software stacks and heterogeneous deployment hardware, making ML model optimizationsdifﬁcult and unportable. We present Edge Impulse, a practical MLOps platform for developing TinyML systems at scale. Edge Impulse addresses these challenges and streamlines the TinyML design cycle by supporting various software and hardware optimizations to create an extensible and portable software stack for a multitude of embedded systems. As of Oct. 2022, Edge Impulse hosts 118,185 projects from 50,953 developers.  \n1 INTRODUCTION  \nMachine learning (ML) has become an increasingly important tool in embedded systems for solving difﬁcult problems, enhancing existing Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, and offering unique ways to save power and bandwidth in sensor networks. ML inference on TinyML systems has facilitated the development of technologies in low-power devices such as wakeword detection (Gruenstein et al., 2017), predictive maintenance (Susto et al., 2015), anomaly detection (Koizumi et al., 2019), visual object detection (Chowdhery et al., 2019), and human activity recognition (Chavarriaga et al., 2013) . According to ABI Resarch, a global technology intelligence ﬁrm, the “installed base of devices with edge AI chipset will exceed 5 billion by 2025.” Additionally, the embedded ML market is expected to reach US$44.3 billion by 2027 (abi, 2021) .  \nDespite the promising advances, the embedded ML development ecosystem has lagged behind the demand for applications. The embedded ML development workﬂow often requires speciﬁc expertise. For instance, embedded ML developers often have to learn a new set of tools for training new models and porting them to an embedded framework written in C or C++, while managing conﬂicting library dependencies. Additionally, hardware vendor speciﬁc frameworks often lock a developer into a particular ecosystem,  \n*Equal Contribution  \nCorresponding author: \u003C[cbanbury@g.harvard.edu](cbanbury@g.harvard.edu) >.  \nColby Banbury and Vijay Janapa Reddi are with the John A.

Broadly, these include the following:  \n1. Data collection challenge. There is no large-scale, curated, public sensor data set for the embedded ecosystem. Currently, it is difﬁcult to efﬁciently collect, and analyze such datasets from a rich variety of sensors. Additionally, data cleaning and labeling are essential to ML development but are expensive, labor intensive processes without tooling or automation.  \n2. Data preprocessing challenge. Digital signal processing (DSP) is a critical stage of the ML stack and has strong interactions with the ML model, that are sometimes har","cbCait8yG924Lxpr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait8yG924Lxpr","pdf",928710,1,15,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Data collection challenge\n## Data preprocessing challenge\n## Development challenge\n## Deployment challenge\n## Monitoring challenge","[{\"question\":\"What problem does Edge Impulse address for TinyML development?\",\"answer\":\"It targets fragmented software stacks and heterogeneous deployment hardware that make ML optimizations difficult and reduce portability across embedded targets.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Edge Impulse streamline the TinyML design cycle?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an extensible platform that supports software and hardware optimizations to create portable software stacks for many embedded systems.\"},{\"question\":\"What major challenges in embedded ML does the document list?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights data collection, data preprocessing (including DSP integration), development (dependency matching), deployment (architecture heterogeneity and code portability), and monitoring (lack of unified programmatic MLOps and limited benchmarking tools).\"}]","EDGE IMPULSE -
