Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
The paper investigates the environmental impact of machine learning models, particularly neural networks, by examining their energy requirements. It focuses on several neural network architectures used in sound event detection systems, using an audio tagging task as a example. The authors measure the energy consumption for training and testing small to large architectures, establishing relationships between energy consumption, floating-point operations, number of parameters, and GPU/memory utilization.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper looks at how much energy machine learning models use, especially neural networks. It wants to understand how these models affect the environment. The researchers study different types of neural networks used in sound detection systems. They measure how much energy it takes to train and test small and big architectures, and find connections between energy usage, calculations, number of parameters, and computer memory.
