Report Abstract:With the rapid development of edge intelligence applications, especially embodiment intelligence applications enhanced by large models, federated training technology of multimodal perception large models in edge intelligence applications and inference technology in resource-constrained edge nodes have attracted attention from academia and industry. This report introduces the team's research on federated training technology of multimodal perception models, two-way knowledge distillation technology, and federated semi-supervised learning technology in the face of challenges such as data and computation heterogeneity and lack of labeled data. For inference technology in resource-constrained edge nodes, research on model compression frameworks, cross-domain adaptation technology, and multi-person command recognition technology in noisy environments is conducted.
