Due to the edge's position between the cloud and the users, and the recent surge of deep neural network (DNN) applications, edge computing brings about uncertainties that must be understood separately. Particularly, the edge users' locally specific requirements that change depending on time and location cause a phenomenon called dataset shift, defined as the difference between the training and test datasets' representations. It renders many of the state-of-the-art approaches for resolving uncertainty insufficient. Instead of finding ways around it, we exploit such phenomenon by utilizing a new principle: AI model diversity, which is achieved when the user is allowed to opportunistically choose from multiple AI models. To utilize AI model diversity, we propose Model Diversity Network (MoDNet), and provide design guidelines and future directions for efficient learning driven communication schemes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
