Special Session 1

Advances in Machine Learning for Constrained Resource Systems

Organizers: Prof. Anastacia B. Alvarez, PhD, University of the Philippines, Philippines
                     Prof. Rhandley D. Cajote, PhD, University of the Philippines, Philippines

Introduction: This special session focuses on advancements in the application implementation of machine learning (ML) techniques to systems with constrained resources, such as edge devices, IoT networks, mobile platforms, and embedded systems. These systems often face limitations in terms of computational power, memory, energy, and bandwidth, making the deployment of traditional machine learning algorithms challenging. The session will explore ML methodologies, optimization strategies, and architectural innovations that enable efficient processing, real-time decision-making, and enhanced performance in such resource-constrained environments. Topics include lightweight neural networks, model compression, federated learning, energy-efficient algorithms, and edge AI applications.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing continue to proliferate, systems with limited computational resources are becoming increasingly prevalent in diverse fields such as healthcare, automotive, and industrial automation. Traditional ML models, which often demand high computational power and memory, are not feasible in these contexts. This session addresses the need for innovative machine learning solutions that can operate effectively under these constraints. By bringing together experts in ML, hardware, and embedded systems, the session aims to accelerate the development of next-generation intelligent systems that are both resource-efficient and scalable.
