About This Course
Stealth AI: Embedded & Ambient Machine Learning is a specialized international workshop that explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, IoT, and ubiquitous computing. It introduces the design and deployment of intelligent models that run on edge devices (like microcontrollers, wearables, and sensors) and ambient systems (like smart homes and environments).
The workshop bridges the gap between traditional machine learning and embedded systems by emphasizing TinyML, on-device AI, context recognition, and privacy-preserving computation, all with real-world applications in healthcare, defense, consumer electronics, and smart infrastructure.
Aim
