Status Updates

Once a month I try to sit down and think about what has happened.

• 2026, January - MLOps Teaching Assistant and outreach

• 2025, December - EurIPS, Course development and holidays

• 2025, November - Early Project Update: Model Compression and Edge ASR Directions

About the project

It is titled “Edge deployment of deep neural networks via Model Compression for Healthcare Applications” and is a collaboration between Laerdal Medical and the Technical University of Denmark. It’s a 3-year PhD going from October 1st 2025 to September 31st 2028.

Here are a few key statements that motivates me about the project:

• We’d like to see how much performance we can squeeze onto devices with limited compute.
• Huge amounts of resources have already one into training models. Let’s make sure that they’re put to use by making them applicable on a wide range of devices.
• Centralizing AI inference is the standard but it’s not always clear winner. Distributing inference compute to the client-side can be hugely beneficial, perhaps even necessary, due to privacy, latency or cost at scale.
