Title: Accelerating Deep Learning Models, from Industry to Academia

Abstract: AI-driven data centres, operating continuously and predominantly powered by fossil fuels, contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions (2.5-3.7%). The widespread use of large foundation models such as ChatGPT exacerbates this environmental impact. This talk explores strategies for mitigating AI's carbon footprint through model acceleration, aiming to significantly reduce computations while maintaining the accurate of AI models. This session will spotlight various model acceleration techniques, including Model Quantisation, Model Pruning, Neural Architecture Search and others. Apart from academic publications, the industry practice will also be introduced.

Bio: Dr. Guosheng Hu is a senior lecturer of AI at the University of Bristol. Before that, he served as the Head of Research at Oosto (a leading visual AI company). Prior to his role at Oosto, he was a Research Fellow in the LEAR team at INRIA Grenoble Rhone-Alpes, France. Dr. Hu earned his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Josef Kittler at the University of Surrey, UK.
