The proposed Gated Compression (GC) layer is a game-changer in on-device machine learning (ODML), enabling powerful edge applications while conserving power and maximizing cost-efficiency. By dynamically regulating data flow, GC layers selectively gate activations of neurons within the neural network, reducing power needs without compromising accuracy. This enhancement enables more efficient execution on heterogeneous compute cores, leading to prolonged battery life, improved device responsiveness, and greater user comfort.

On-device machine learning helps devices do cool things, but it can also use up a lot of energy. Researchers found that if they make the model too simple, it won’t be very good at what it does, but if they make it too complex, it will use way too much power. They wanted to find a way to balance these two problems. They came up with something called Gated Compression (GC) that can help. GC helps by only sending important information through the model, which saves energy without making the model worse at what it does. This is great because devices can stay on longer and be more responsive.
