Title
A Pragmatic Approach To On-Device Incremental Learning System With Selective Weight Updates
Abstract
Incremental learning is drawing attention to widen capabilities of device-AI. Previous works have researched to reduce numerous computations and memory accesses required for the training process of IL, but they could not show a noticeable improvement in the weight gradient computation (WGC) phase. Therefore, we propose a selective weight update technique that searches for critical weights to be updated by applying the IL algorithm that training per-task binary masks. Also, we introduce a novel dataflow for the implementation of selective WGC on typical NPUs with minimum overheads. On average, our system shows a 2.9 x speed up and 2.5x energy efficiency in WGC without degrading training quality.
