Publications

Peer-reviewed papers and preprints. Every entry links to the paper, the code and — where they exist — the dataset and an interactive demo, so the results can be reproduced or reused without emailing me first. A full list is also on Google Scholar, and my ORCID record is here.

Mapping Multiple LSTM Models on FPGAs

Stefano Ribes, Pedro Trancoso, Ioannis Sourdis, Christos-Savvas Bouganis International Conference on Field-Programmable Technology (ICFPT), 2020

A framework that co-optimises multiple LSTM models for FPGA deployment via SVD-based approximation and structured pruning, reaching 3× to 5× speedups at equal accuracy loss.
