Publication number: 20190005397Abstract: Energy-efficient, modularized systems and method for local uncertainty quantification and outcome prediction in mobile devices are disclosed. For example, an exemplary system implementing the disclosed technology includes a mobile device with at least one sensor and a processor sitting within an energy-efficient architecture. The processor runs an uncertainty quantification (e.g. Bayesian inference) algorithm on the data collected by the sensor and characterizes the uncertainty (e.g. the full posterior distribution) around latent variables of interest. The architecture for this algorithm is de-centralized, involves simple energy-efficient procedures that are implemented in parallel and in an iterative fashion, that allows for an aggregately fast, precise, and energy-efficient hardware embodiment of uncertainty quantification. Full quantification of uncertainty in estimates enables more robust predictions and decision-making.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2016Publication date: January 3, 2019Inventors: Todd Prentice COLEMAN, Marcela MENDOZA
