<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Internet of things (IoT) era will enable various activities having high impacts on the ways of works and human life based on intelligent computing with the information network system.
With the remarkable progress in machine-learning algorithms on traditional large-scale processors with GPU acceleration, cloud AI technologies have allowed us to enjoy the benefits of intelligent computation targeting a broad range of data. However, recent
surge in unstructured data obtained in edge domains brings about heavy network traffic and it is becoming unfeasible to utilize cloud computing with the present network system. Thus, developing disruptive technologies for this challenge is indispensable to
implement next-generation information network systems. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The most promising technology is an emerging research field, called “edge computing” or “edge AI”, that reduces network traffic with intelligent computing almost in edge domains.
Edge AI requires computational performances completely different from those for cloud computing technologies: suitable and prompt computing of unstructured data with restricted hardware resources in terms of circuit scale, processing speed, power supply, and
memory storage. In other words, higher priorities lie in real-time computation with highly-energy efficient ways, while the machine learning algorithm and required computing accuracy change according to application.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The objective of this special session is to discuss challenges and future directions of AI systems, based on the novel computing paradigms specialized to edge AI. The special session
covers various aspects: 1) novel machine learning models and algorithms, 2) novel AI hardware and neuromorphic devices, natural computing for hardware innovation, and 3) emerging AI applications in edge environments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
