Episode notes
AutoML for Microcontrollers
- AutoML within the Kenning framework helps optimize AI parameters for microcontrollers.
- This automated process helps find the right configurations, especially useful given memory constraints.
Anomaly Detection with Kenning
- An example use case for Kenning is anomaly detection on an Analog Devices MAX32690 EV kit.
- Vibration anomalies, like frequency changes indicating potential problems, are detectable by training a model with Kenning.
Automated Parameter Tuning
- Avoid manually tweaking FPGA parameters and relying on slow, binary feedback.
- Simulate various scenarios with tools like Kenning and Renode to gather richer data and optimize faster.
