Smart at what cost? Characterising Mobile DNNs in the wild
Smartphones are all around us, today, available in various tiers and form factors. A large part of what makes them ‘smart’ is (i) their integration of sensors, so as to ‘sense”’ their environment, and (ii) the ability to run ML models, so as to ‘understand’ their environment. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are a central aspect of mobile intelligence, with use-cases ranging from vision tasks, such as computational photography and background separation, to speech, with voice assistants, and NLP, with text or handwriting understanding.
