Acknowledgements

This book, inspired by the TinyML edX course and CS294r at Harvard University, is the result of years of hard work and collaboration with many students, researchers and practioners. We are deeply indebted to the folks whose groundbreaking work laid its foundation.

As our understanding of machine learning systems deepened, we realized that fundamental principles apply across scales, from tiny embedded systems to large-scale deployments. This realization shaped the book’s expansion into an exploration of machine learning systems with the aim of providing a foundation applicable across the spectrum of implementations.
