Small Language Model for Device AI Applications

Device AI applications running at the AI Edge on very small form-factor devices (for example pico ITX), and without an online cloud connection, need to perform automatic speech recognition (ASR) under difficult conditions, including background noise, urgent or stressed voice input, and other talkers in the background. For robotics applications, background noise may also include servo motor and other mechanical noise. Under these conditions, efficient open source ASRs such as Kaldi and Whisper tend to produce "sound-alike" errors, for example:

  in the early days a king rolled the stake
  
which contains two (2) sound-alike errors that must be corrected to "in the early days a king ruled the state". Sound-alike errors are particularly problematic for robotics applications in which the robot OS requires precise API commands, for example a robotaxi has stalled and must be instructed to "move forward 20 feet, to the right 10 feet, raise the hood, and turn off the engine". A first responder may use a portable backpack device and give commands "get off the road in that turn-out up ahead and shut it down" or similar. Any sound-alike errors in voice commands make translation to machine-readable APIs problematic.

To address this issue independently of ASR model, Signalogic is developing a Small Language Model (SLM) to correct sound-alike errors, capable of running in a very small form-factor and under 10W, for example using two (2) Atom CPU cores. The SLM must run every 1/2 second and with a backwards/forwards context of 3-4 words. Unlike an LLM, a wide context window, domain knowledge, and extensive web page training are not needed.

Presentation title: LF edge and IOWN joint PoC plan
Abstraction:
The amount of data and computation required for computing workloads is increasing at an accelerating rate, and reducing power consumption and evolving data bandwidth are becoming challenges. At the same time, fast responding time is also required. Solving these challenges and realizing future workloads in the 2030s will require a paradigm shift in communications and computing.
Against this background, IOWN and LF Edge signed an MOU. 
IOWN(Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) Global forum are focusing on next generation communications and computing infrastructure and technology to realize future workload. LF Edge are developing software and architectures to enable our workload primarily from the edge computing side.
I believe that the combination of IOWN technology and LF Edge OSS will enable future workload and improve the performance of use cases. So I'm planning a joint PoC(Proof of Concept) using two community technologies. This presentation will introduce the points to be demonstrated in the PoC and future plans.

Presentation title: MEC Service Federation with DevOps MEC Infra Orchestration (PCEI Blueprint R7)

Abstract: 

In our solution we use Akraino Public Cloud Edge Interface (PCEI) blueprint and MEC Location API service to demonstrate orchestration of federated MEC infrastructure and services, including, Bare metal, interconnection, virtual routing for MEC and Public Cloud IaaS/SaaS, across two operators/providers (a 5G operator and a MEC provider), 5G Control and User Plane Functions
Deployment and operation of end-to-end cloud native IoT application making use of 5G access and distributed both across geographic locations and across hybrid MEC (edge cloud) and Public Cloud (SaaS) infrastructure

By orchestrating, bare metal servers and their software stack, 5G control plane and user plane functions, interconnection between the 5G provider and MEC provider, connectivity to a public cloud as well as the IoT application and the MEC Location API service, we show how it is possible for providers to enable sharing of their services in a MEC Federation environment.

Vijay Pal, Predictive Maintenance of Hardware :

In the world of smart systems, encompassing 5G, IoT, and data centers uncertainty of hardware failures is very critical. Proactive maintenance of hardware can eliminate these challenges.

Our device-agnostic approach, rooted in data analysis and anomaly detection using AI and ML, positions us to fortify the entire smart ecosystem, ensuring reliability and efficiency at scale.
