“Intelligent sensing in the small,“ Anish Arora, Professor, The Ohio State University
Abstract: Intelligent sensing in small devices that are deeply embedded in the wireless edge of the new internet motivates a rethinking of existing machine learning techniques. This talk illustrates how efficient inference can be machine learned while achieving generalizability, robustness, and data efficiency, in the context of micropower radar-based and microphone-based sensor networks that we designed and deployed for anti-poaching and sound complaint mitigation.
Bio: Anish Arora is Professor and Chair of Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University, co-Program Director in OSU’s Translational Data Analytics Institute, and co-founder of The Samraksh Company. Over the last two decades Arora has been translating his research on scalable IoT device networks and wireless sensor networks in systems deployed worldwide. These include ExScal for the DARPA NEST program (for multi-sensor classification across long linear borders), Kansei and POWWOW testbeds at Ohio State (for software-defined and secure wireless experimentation), SONYC in New York City (for acoustic noise classification), HORNNET in South Africa and India (for radar-based Anti-Poacher Surveillance), and PedCyc at OSU (for radar-based bicycle-pedestrian monitoring). Arora is an IEEE Fellow.
