Title of the Talk: Advancing Efficient and Trustworthy
AI on the Edge

Abstract: Edge AI brings intelligence closer to users, enabling real-time, personalized interactions while maintaining data privacy. However, the increasing reliance on edge devices presents two significant challenges: ensuring efficient AI operations within resource-constrained environments and addressing trustworthiness concerns to safeguard sensitive on-device data. In this talk, I will first talk about efficient model training and personalization on edge devices, focusing on methods that eliminate the need for backpropagation to reduce computational and memory costs. Then, I will present works on enhancing privacy and robustness for Edge AI, introducing strategies to protect data integrity and defend against adversarial threats. These efforts address critical limitations and pave the way for efficient and trustworthy Edge AI solutions.
