"Dissemination On Secure AI for Edge Computing" partenariato esteso progetto PNRR SERICS

Dissemination Workshop SERICS – Secure AI for Edge Computing
21 November 2025, 9:30 a.m.
TeCIP Institute, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna – Grey Room

Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna is organizing a workshop dedicated to presenting the results achieved within the PNRR “Extended Partnership” PE7 SERICS – Security and Rights in the Cyber Space, Spoke 3, Science and Engineering Of Security of Artificial Intelligence (S.O.S. A.I.) project.

The workshop aims to share the progress made by the School’s research team within the SERICS project and to foster a discussion on new research directions to enhance the security of future embedded systems and AI applications for edge computing.

Agenda and programme attached.

ABSTRACT:

Recent advances in AI face challenges when applied to distributed embedded devices with specialized multimodal sensors, due to limited training data and computational resources. This scarcity makes models prone to overfitting, less reliable, and sensitive to environmental changes, while larger models cannot run efficiently. The work addresses these issues by leveraging self-supervised learning with unlabeled data, improving learning efficiency from scarce sensor data, and implementing scheduling and resource management to ensure timely and accurate inference. A case study on target classification and tracking using acoustic and seismic sensors demonstrates the benefits of these approaches on performance and responsiveness.
