Tech Tuesday is a monthly breakfast event for the tech community in Kista, organized by Kista Science City. The aim is to get an inside perspective and learn about cutting edge trends from researchers and developers in Kista. The April meeting is hosted by the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV), Stockholm University.

Professor Javid Taheri will share insights from his research in edge intelligence, an area that has implications for the development of autonomous vehicles and smart cities.

This event is free of cost, but we have a limited amount of seats.

About the topic “Edge intelligence: from theory to practice”

Edge computing is a new computing paradigm to address several shortcomings of currently deployed cloud computing services. It brings computing power closer to users where data is produced or need processing. Edge is a prerequisite for many technological advancements and application domains, including autonomous vehicles, Industry 4.0, and smart cities.

In this short presentation, Javid Taheri will talk about edge computing and its ties to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The presentation starts from basics and gradually advances to how AI and ML concepts can help, or benefit from, edge computing platforms. The presentation also covers current industrial and academic challenges, as well as the most relevant research topics.
