• Abstract: Background: The increasing environmental impact of Information Technologies, particularly in Machine Learning (ML), highlights the need for sustainable practices in software engineering. The escalating complexity and energy consumption of ML models need tools for assessing and improving their energy efficiency. Goal: This paper introduces GAISSALabel, a web-based tool designed to evaluate and label the energy efficiency of ML models. Method: GAISSALabel is a technology transfer development from a former research on energy efficiency classification of ML, consisting of a holistic tool for assessing both the training and inference phases of ML models, considering various metrics such as power draw, model size efficiency, CO2e emissions and more. Results: GAISSALabel offers a labeling system for energy efficiency, akin to labels on consumer appliances, making it accessible to ML stakeholders of varying backgrounds. The tool's adaptability allows for customization in the proposed labeling system, ensuring its relevance in the rapidly evolving ML field. Conclusions: GAISSALabel represents a significant step forward in sustainable software engineering, offering a solution for balancing high-performance ML models with environmental impacts. The tool's effectiveness and market relevance will be further assessed through planned evaluations using the Technology Acceptance Model.

  generative, multi-purpose AI systems promise a unified approach to building machine learning (ML) models into technology. This ambition of generality'' comes at a steep cost to the environment, given the amount of energy these systems require and the amount of carbon that they emit. We measure deployment cost as the amount of energy and carbon required to perform 1,000 inferences on representative benchmark dataset using these models. We conclude with a discussion around the current trend of deploying multi-purpose generative ML systems, and caution that their utility should be more intentionally weighed against increased costs in terms of energy and emissions

  We propose a novel approach, black-box adversarial reprogramming (BAR), that repurposes a well-trained black-box machine learning model. Using zeroth order optimization and multi-label mapping techniques, BAR can reprogram a black-box ML model solely based on its input-output responses. BAR outperforms state-of-the-art methods and yields comparable performance to the vanilla adversarial reprogramming method.
