Title thesis
Efficient implementation of Convolutional neural networks
What was your method of explaining your thesis in 3 minutes?
I start with a brief background about deep convolutional neural network. Then I ask a question about running the method on mobile devices and the related issues. Next, I explain my approaches in my thesis to address the issues. Finally, I provide some benefits of my research for the society.
What inspires you to do research?
The outstanding results of artificial intelligence and deep learning methods in computer vision applications motivated me to have a contribution in this field.
If you have to dedicate your research to anyone from the past, present, or future, who would it be and why?
I like to dedicate my research to my supervisor since he helped me a lot to develop my ideas.
Three keywords to explain your thesis.
Convolutional neural networks, Energy efficiency, Hardware implementation
