Edge Deep Learning with Aran Khanna

Description:

A modern farm has hundreds of sensors to monitor the soil health, and robotic machinery to reap the vegetables. A modern shipping yard has hundreds of computers working together to orchestrate and analyze the freight that is coming in from overseas. A modern factory has temperature gauges and smart security cameras to ensure workplace safety.

All of these devices could be considered “edge” devices.

Over the last decade, these edge devices have mostly been used to gather data and save it to an on-premise server, or to the cloud. Today, as the required volumes of data and compute scale, we look for ways to better utilize our resources. We can start to deploy more application logic to these edge devices, and build a more sophisticated relationship between our powerful cloud servers and the less powerful edge devices.

The soil sensors at the farm are recording long time series of chemical levels. The pressure sensors in a centrifuge are recording months and years of data. The cameras are recording terabytes of video. These huge data sets are correlated with labeled events–such as crop yields.

With these large volumes of data, we can construct models for responding to future events. Deep learning can be used to improve systems over time. The models can be trained in the cloud, and deployed to devices at the edge.

Aran Khanna is an AI engineer with Amazon Web Services, and he joins the show to discuss workloads at the cloud and at the edge–how work can be distributed between the two places, and the tools that can be used to build edge deep learning systems more easily.

To find all of our shows about machine learning and edge computing, as well as links to learn more about the topics described in the show, download the Software Engineering Daily app for iOS or Android. These apps have all 650 of our episodes in a searchable format–we have recommendations, categories, related links and discussions around the episodes. It’s all free and also open source–if you are interested in getting involved in our open source community, we have lots of people working on the project and we do our best to be friendly and inviting to new people coming in looking for their first open source project. You can find that project at Github.com/softwareengineeringdaily.

The octopus: a sea creature known for its intelligence and flexibility. Octopus Deploy: a friendly deployment automation tool for deploying applications like .NET apps, Java apps and more. Ask any developer and they’ll tell you it’s never fun pushing code at 5pm on a Friday then crossing your fingers hoping for the best. That’s where Octopus Deploy comes into the picture. Octopus Deploy is a friendly deployment automation tool, taking over where your build/CI server ends. Use Octopus to promote releases on-prem or to the cloud. Octopus integrates with your existing build pipeline–TFS and VSTS, Bamboo, TeamCity, and Jenkins. It integrates with AWS, Azure, and on-prem environments. Reliably and repeatedly deploy your .NET and Java apps and more. If you can package it, Octopus can deploy it! It’s quick and easy to install. Go to Octopus.com to trial Octopus free for 45 days. That’s Octopus.com


Digital Ocean is a reliable, easy-to-use cloud provider. More and more people are finding out about Digital Ocean, and realizing that Digital Ocean is perfect for their application workloads. This year, Digital Ocean is making that even easier, with new node types–a $15 flexible droplet that can mix and match different configurations of CPU and RAM, to get the perfect amount of resources for your application. There are also CPU optimized droplets–perfect for highly active frontend servers, or CI/CD workloads. And running on the cloud can get expensive, which is why Digital Ocean makes it easy to choose the right size instance. And the prices on standard instances have gone down too–you can check out all their new deals by going to do.co/sedaily. And as a bonus to our listeners you will get $100 in credit over 60 days. Use the credit for hosting or infrastructure–that includes load balancers, object storage, and computation. Get your free $100 credit at do.co/sedaily.
