• Abstract summary: On-device machine learning (ODML) enables powerful edge applications, but power consumption remains a key challenge for resource-constrained devices. This work focuses on the use of Gated Compression (GC) layer to enhance ODML model performance while conserving power. GC layers dynamically regulate data flow by selectively gating activations of neurons within the neural network and effectively filtering out non-essential inputs.

• Abstract: On-device machine learning (ODML) enables powerful edge applications, but power consumption remains a key challenge for resource-constrained devices. To address this, developers often face a trade-off between model accuracy and power consumption, employing either computationally intensive models on high-power cores or pared-down models on low-power cores. Both approaches typically lead to a compromise in user experience (UX). This work focuses on the use of Gated Compression (GC) layer to enhance ODML model performance while conserving power and maximizing cost-efficiency, especially for always-on use cases. GC layers dynamically regulate data flow by selectively gating activations of neurons within the neural network and effectively filtering out non-essential inputs, which reduces power needs without compromising accuracy, and enables more efficient execution on heterogeneous compute cores. These improvements enhance UX through prolonged battery life, improved device responsiveness, and greater user comfort. In this work, we have integrated GC layers into vision and speech domain models including the transformer-based ViT model. Our experiments demonstrate theoretical power efficiency gains ranging from 158x to 30,000x for always-on scenarios. This substantial improvement empowers ODML applications with enhanced UX benefits.
