摘要 Abstract：

Recently, Deep Neural Networks are changing not only the technology paradigm in electronics but also the society itself with Artificial Intelligence. In this lecture, firstly, the status of AI and DNN SoCs will be reviewed from two perspectives: the applications such as data-center oriented and the mobile and embedded AIs, and the evolution of DNN Accelerators. Especially, mobile and embedded deep learning hardware, low power CNPU and reconfigurable DNPU and UNPU which can accelerate both CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) will be introduced. In addition, their high efficiency and flexibility with “Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor” architecture will be explained in detail with the real chip measurement results, such as human emotion recognition and super-resolution image reconstruction.

Secondly, KAIST’s approach for the super-intelligence will be explained with novel design methodology. The deep neural networks and the specialized intelligent hardware will implement not only the inference but also learning on a chip. The personalization and autonomous adaptation to the environmental changes are possible with the on-chip learning capability. Even Deep reinforcement learning can be accelerated by a dedicated chip for the many exciting applications such as object recognition and the object tracking applications are implemented with low-power and high-performance for autonomous vehicles, and intelligent robots.
