OSGi Community Event 2016 Presentation by Tim Verbelen (iMinds / imec)
With the current explosion of IoT devices connected to the Internet, the biggest challenge in the near future is how to process and analyze all this generated data, making use of the highly distributed compute infrastructure at hand. A promising approach for data analysis is deep learning, using brain-inspired neural networks for feature extraction and detection. In our research lab, we have developed DIANNE, an OSGi-based framework for creating, deploying and training artificial neural networks in a modular way. Benefiting from OSGi modularity, we can easily distribute (parts of) the neural networks among cloud and edge devices.
3. A TRULY SMART SYSTEM IS ABLE TO LEARN
Image captioning (Vinyals et al)
Speech synthesis (van den Oord et al)
Speech recognition systems
AlphaGo
(Silver et al.)
Robot tasks (Abbeel et al)
4. MACHINE LEARNING WITH DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS
4
Neural networks are trained to approximate any function
Difficulties:
Requires a lot of computation
Requires a huge amount of data
GPU / CLOUD COMPUTING
INTERNET OF THINGS
5. WHERE TO DEPLOY?

GREAT FOR CONFIGURATION
public class SGDConfig {
public float learningRate = 0.01f;
public float minLearningRate = 0.0f;
public float decayRate = 0.0f;
…
}
Map<String, String> config …
SGDConfig c = DianneConfigHandler
.getConfig(config, SGDConfig.class)
SGDProcessor p
= new SGDProcessor(c);
How to provide configuration to objects *
Constructor/method parameters?
DTO?
Map<String, String>?
* for configuring services, use ConfigAdmin
16. NATIVE LIBRARIES
16
FRAGMENTS PROVIDE THE RIGHT NATIVE LIB FOR YOUR PLATFORM
Tensors are residing only in native (GPU) memory
Build a fragment with Bundle-NativeCode header for each supported
platform
At runtime, the right fragment resolves and is attached to the host
bundle providing the Java objects with native methods
Caveat: correct fragment for GPU still has to be selected manually (not
automatically provided as capability)
18. PROMISES

DIANNE Neural network modules are executed asynchronously
NeuralNetwork provides API with promises
final NeuralNetwork nn = ...;
Tensor batch = loadBatch();
Tensor nextBatch;
while(learning){
// do forward-backward pass during training
Promise result = nn.forward(batch,…).then( p → {
Tensor output = p.getValue().tensor;
Tensor grad = calculateGradient(output);
return nn.backward(grad);
}).then(…);
nextBatch = loadBatch(); // already load next batch
result.getValue(); // wait for async completion
… // flip nextBatch and batch
}
