Deep Learning in the Automotive Industry: Applications and Tools
Deep Learning refers to a set of machine learning techniques that utilize
neural networks with many hidden layers for tasks, such as image
classification, speech recognition, language understanding. Deep learning has
been proven to be very effective in these domains and is pervasively used by
many Internet services. In this paper, we describe different automotive uses
cases for deep learning in particular in the domain of computer vision. We
surveys the current state-of-the-art in libraries, tools and infrastructures
(e.\,g.\ GPUs and clouds) for implementing, training and deploying deep neural
networks. We particularly focus on convolutional neural networks and computer
vision use cases, such as the visual inspection process in manufacturing plants
and the analysis of social media data. To train neural networks, curated and
labeled datasets are essential. In particular, both the availability and scope
of such datasets is typically very limited. A main contribution of this paper
is the creation of an automotive dataset, that allows us to learn and
automatically recognize different vehicle properties. We describe an end-to-end
deep learning application utilizing a mobile app for data collection and
process support, and an Amazon-based cloud backend for storage and training.
For training we evaluate the use of cloud and on-premises infrastructures
(including multiple GPUs) in conjunction with different neural network
architectures and frameworks. We assess both the training times as well as the
accuracy of the classifier. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the
trained classifier in a real world setting during manufacturing process.Comment: 10 page
MLPerf Inference Benchmark
Machine-learning (ML) hardware and software system demand is burgeoning.
Driven by ML applications, the number of different ML inference systems has
exploded. Over 100 organizations are building ML inference chips, and the
systems that incorporate existing models span at least three orders of
magnitude in power consumption and five orders of magnitude in performance;
they range from embedded devices to data-center solutions. Fueling the hardware
are a dozen or more software frameworks and libraries. The myriad combinations
of ML hardware and ML software make assessing ML-system performance in an
architecture-neutral, representative, and reproducible manner challenging.
There is a clear need for industry-wide standard ML benchmarking and evaluation
criteria. MLPerf Inference answers that call. In this paper, we present our
benchmarking method for evaluating ML inference systems. Driven by more than 30
organizations as well as more than 200 ML engineers and practitioners, MLPerf
prescribes a set of rules and best practices to ensure comparability across
systems with wildly differing architectures. The first call for submissions
garnered more than 600 reproducible inference-performance measurements from 14
organizations, representing over 30 systems that showcase a wide range of
capabilities. The submissions attest to the benchmark's flexibility and
adaptability.Comment: ISCA 202
