The emergence of ubiquitous sensing and control of the physical world through networks of embedded computing devices has currently gone beyond conventional areas of ambient and environmental monitoring and reached the cost-sensitive, generally risk averse and safety critical industrial domain. Data-driven models have been deployed for process fault detection and diagnosis, improving yields of production lines and optimisation of key performance indicators such as energy efficiency and maintenance and productivity related metrics, with outreaching social and environmental impact. The talk aims to discuss the current context and challenges related to the design, implementation and evaluation of advanced data processing and learning algorithms in industry applications. Special focus is given to in situ efficient inference on distributed embedded devices by means of novel deep neural network architectures.
