  • Publication number: 20190325346
    Abstract: Machine learning with model filtering and model mixing for edge devices in a heterogeneous environment is disclosed. In an example embodiment, an edge device includes a communication module, a data collection device, a memory, a machine learning module, and a model mixing module. The edge device analyzes collected data with a model for a first task, outputs a result, and updates the model to create a local model. The edge device communicates with other edge devices in a heterogeneous group, transmits a request for local models to the heterogeneous group, and receives local models from the heterogeneous group. The edge device filters the local models by structure metadata, including second local models, which relate to a second task. The edge device performs a mix operation of the second local models to generate a mixed model which relates to the second task, and transmits the mixed model to the heterogeneous group.

  • Publication number: 20180253665
    Abstract: A machine learning heterogeneous edge device, method, and system are disclosed. In an example embodiment, an edge device includes a communication module, a data collection device, a memory, a machine learning module, a group determination module, and a leader election module. The edge device analyzes collected data with a model, outputs a result, and updates the model to create a local model. The edge device communicates with other edge devices in a heterogeneous group. The edge device determines group membership and determines a leader edge device. The edge device receives a request for the local model, transmits the local model to the leader edge device, receives a mixed model created by the leader edge device performing a mix operation of the local model and a different local model, and replaces the local model with the mixed model.
