Abstract: One or more autonomous vehicles are clustered into one or more microgrids and at least one computing task is scheduled on at least one microgrid. Activation signals are received from a client of one or more autonomous vehicles when the vehicles are plugged into charging stations. Utilization rates of the autonomous vehicles are determined based on a set of parameters, which includes at least one of location of the autonomous vehicle and time. The autonomous vehicles are clustered into one or more microgrids of autonomous vehicles based on the utilization rates. At least one request for performing at least one computing task is received from a user device. The at least one request includes an estimated runtime of the at least one computing task. The at least one computing task is scheduled on at least one microgrid of autonomous vehicles based on the estimated runtime.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure includes systems and methods for reducing computational cost associated with training a neural network model. A neural network model is received and a neural network training process is executed in which the neural network model is trained according to a first fidelity during a first training phase. As a result of a determination that training of the neural network model during the first training phase satisfies one or more criteria, the neural network model is trained at a second fidelity during a second training phase, the second fidelity being a higher fidelity than the first fidelity.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for performing data-aware model pruning for neural networks. During a training phase, a neural network is trained with a first set of data. During a validation phase, inference with the neural network is performed using a second set of data that causes the neural network to generate a first set of outputs at a layer in the neural network. During the validation phase, a plurality of mean values and a plurality of variance values are calculated based on the first set of outputs. A plurality of entropy values are calculated based on the plurality of mean values and the plurality of variance values. A second set of outputs are pruned based on the plurality of entropy values. The second set of outputs are generated by the layer of the neural network using a third set of data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a system for optimizing an artificial neural network by configuring a model, based on a plurality of training parameters, to execute a training process, monitoring a plurality of statistics produced upon execution of the training process, and adjusting one or more of the training parameters, based on one or more of the statistics, to maintain at least one of the statistics within a predetermined range. In some embodiments, artificial intelligence (AI) processors may execute a training process on a model, the training process having an associated set of training parameters. Execution of the training process may produce a plurality of statistics. Control processor(s) coupled to the AI processor(s) may receive the statistics, and in accordance therewith, adjust one or more of the training parameters to maintain at least one of the statistics within a predetermined range during execution of the training process.
