Hardware Implementation of Deep Network Accelerators Towards Healthcare and Biomedical Applications
With the advent of dedicated Deep Learning (DL) accelerators and neuromorphic
processors, new opportunities are emerging for applying deep and Spiking Neural
Network (SNN) algorithms to healthcare and biomedical applications at the edge.
This can facilitate the advancement of the medical Internet of Things (IoT)
systems and Point of Care (PoC) devices. In this paper, we provide a tutorial
describing how various technologies ranging from emerging memristive devices,
to established Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and mature Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology can be used to develop efficient DL
accelerators to solve a wide variety of diagnostic, pattern recognition, and
signal processing problems in healthcare. Furthermore, we explore how spiking
neuromorphic processors can complement their DL counterparts for processing
biomedical signals. After providing the required background, we unify the
sparsely distributed research on neural network and neuromorphic hardware
implementations as applied to the healthcare domain. In addition, we benchmark
various hardware platforms by performing a biomedical electromyography (EMG)
signal processing task and drawing comparisons among them in terms of inference
delay and energy. Finally, we provide our analysis of the field and share a
perspective on the advantages, disadvantages, challenges, and opportunities
that different accelerators and neuromorphic processors introduce to healthcare
and biomedical domains. This paper can serve a large audience, ranging from
nanoelectronics researchers, to biomedical and healthcare practitioners in
grasping the fundamental interplay between hardware, algorithms, and clinical
adoption of these tools, as we shed light on the future of deep networks and
spiking neuromorphic processing systems as proponents for driving biomedical
circuits and systems forward.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems (21

Simulation and implementation of novel deep learning hardware architectures for resource constrained devices
Corey Lammie designed mixed signal memristive-complementary metalâoxideâsemiconductor (CMOS) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) hardware architectures, which were used to reduce the power and resource requirements of Deep Learning (DL) systems; both during inference and training. Disruptive design methodologies, such as those explored in this thesis, can be used to facilitate the design of next-generation DL systems

Sensor Signal and Information Processing II
In the current age of information explosion, newly invented technological sensors and software are now tightly integrated with our everyday lives. Many sensor processing algorithms have incorporated some forms of computational intelligence as part of their core framework in problem solving. These algorithms have the capacity to generalize and discover knowledge for themselves and learn new information whenever unseen data are captured. The primary aim of sensor processing is to develop techniques to interpret, understand, and act on information contained in the data. The interest of this book is in developing intelligent signal processing in order to pave the way for smart sensors. This involves mathematical advancement of nonlinear signal processing theory and its applications that extend far beyond traditional techniques. It bridges the boundary between theory and application, developing novel theoretically inspired methodologies targeting both longstanding and emergent signal processing applications. The topic ranges from phishing detection to integration of terrestrial laser scanning, and from fault diagnosis to bio-inspiring filtering. The book will appeal to established practitioners, along with researchers and students in the emerging field of smart sensors processing

WiFi-Based Human Activity Recognition Using Attention-Based BiLSTM
Recently, significant efforts have been made to explore human activity recognition (HAR) techniques that use information gathered by existing indoor wireless infrastructures through WiFi signals without demanding the monitored subject to carry a dedicated device. The key intuition is that different activities introduce different multi-paths in WiFi signals and generate different patterns in the time series of channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we propose and evaluate a full pipeline for a CSI-based human activity recognition framework for 12 activities in three different spatial environments using two deep learning models: ABiLSTM and CNN-ABiLSTM. Evaluation experiments have demonstrated that the proposed models outperform state-of-the-art models. Also, the experiments show that the proposed models can be applied to other environments with different configurations, albeit with some caveats. The proposed ABiLSTM model achieves an overall accuracy of 94.03%, 91.96%, and 92.59% across the 3 target environments. While the proposed CNN-ABiLSTM model reaches an accuracy of 98.54%, 94.25% and 95.09% across those same environments
