FAST ADAPTATION FOR DEEP LEARNING APPLICATION THROUGH BACKPROPAGATION

Systems and methods are provided for dynamically adapting configuration setting associated with capturing content as input data for inferencing in the Multi-Access Edge Computing in a 5G telecommunication network. The inferencing is based on a use of a deep neural network. In particular, the method includes determining a gradient of a change in inference data over a change in configuration setting for capturing input data (the inference-configuration gradient). The method further updates the configuration setting based on the gradient of a change in inference data over a change in the configuration setting. The inference-configuration gradient is based on a combination of an input-configuration gradient and an inference-input gradient. The input-configuration gradient indicates a change in input data as the configuration setting value changes. The inference-input gradient indicates, as a saliency of the deep neural network, a change in inference result of the input data as the input data changes.
