Edge computing is revolutionizing the way we live, work, and interact with the world. With the recent breakthrough in deep learning, it is expected that in the foreseeable future, majority of the edge devices will be equipped with machine intelligence powered by deep learning. To realize the full promise of deep learning in the era of edge computing, there are daunting challenges to address.

In this chapter, we presented eight challenges at the intersection of computer systems, networking, and machine learning. These challenges are driven by the gap between high computational demand of DNN models and the limited battery lives of edge devices, the data discrepancy in real-world settings, the need to process heterogeneous sensor data and concurrent deep learning tasks on heterogeneous computing units, and the opportunities for offloading to nearby edges and on-device training. We also proposed opportunities that have potential to address these challenges. We hope our discussion could inspire new research that turns the envisioned intelligent edge into reality.
