Most existing work on travel time sensing has been focused on individual transportation modalities and its riding time based on the static time tables. However, passengers often consider different modes of transportation, e.g. taxis, subways, buses or personal vehicles, and a significant portion of the travel time is spent in the uncertain waiting or walking, which cannot be accurately obtained by static time tables. In this paper, we design a real-time data-driven framework FineTravel for fine-grained travel time sensing based on multi-source real-time data from multi-modal mobile networks including taxi, bus, subway, and private vehicle. The key challenge we address in FineTravel is to estimate implicit components (including walking, waiting and riding time) of the total travel time without direct measurement. In contrast to the existing work based on single-modal transportation networks mostly with offline data, the novelty of the FineTravel is based on its real-time multi-source data-driven (including both vehicle GPS and smartcard data) modeling for a comprehensive travel time sensing.","PeriodicalId":432452,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133892735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we investigate using accelerometer and gyroscope as a side-channel to learn highly sensitive information, such as the user's gender. We present an unobtrusive technique to determine the gender of a user by mining data from the smartphone sensors, which do not require explicit permissions from the user.

The excessive resource consumptions of state-of-the-art neural networks, however, remains a huge impediment towards their widespread deployment in the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, we propose an IoT-oriented deep learning serving system, Stardust, that accelerates the neural network inference to improve the quality of IoT services. Stardust integrates several joint contributions from both the system and AI perspectives, including system performance predictor, model compression, and compressive offloading. On one hand, the performance predictor profiles and predicts the runtime characteristics of neural network operations on a particular device with the targeted runtime environment, which enables a hardware and software oriented performance optimization during model compression and offloading. On the other hand, the model compression minimizes the computation time of neural networks on different devices, and the compressive offloading diminishes the network data transferring time during the mobile-edge offloading. Moreover, all these optimizations can be done with almost no compromise on inference accuracy. The integration of these modules, therefore, collaboratively reduce the end-to-end latency of serving deep learning services that reside across embedded/mobile devices and edge servers. We deploy illustrative applications on Stardust, performing human perception tasks with on-device camera microphone and motion sensors to demonstrate the capability of Stardust serving system.","PeriodicalId":432452,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125590583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contextual AR applications rely on image recognition to identify objects in the view of the mobile device. In practice, due to image distortions and device resource constraints, achieving high performance image recognition for AR is challenging. Recent advances in edge computing offer opportunities for designing collaborative image recognition frameworks for AR. In this demonstration, we present CollabAR, an edge-assisted collaborative image recognition framework. CollabAR allows AR devices that are facing the same scene to collaborate on the recognition task. Demo participants develop an intuition for different image distortions and their impact on image recognition accuracy. We showcase how heterogeneous images taken by different users can be aggregated to improve recognition accuracy and provide a better user experience in AR.","PeriodicalId":432452,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127888177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
