• Abstract: With the rapid increase in the research, development, and application of neural networks in the current era, there is a proportional increase in the energy needed to train and use models. Crucially, this is accompanied by the increase in carbon emissions into the environment. A sustainable and socially beneficial approach to reducing the carbon footprint and rising energy demands associated with the modern age of AI/deep learning is the adaptive and continuous reuse of models with regard to changes in the environment of model deployment or variations/changes in the input data. In this paper, we propose PreIndex, a predictive index to estimate the environmental and compute resources associated with model retraining to distributional shifts in data. PreIndex can be used to estimate environmental costs such as carbon emissions and energy usage when retraining from current data distribution to new data distribution. It also correlates with and can be used to estimate other resource indicators associated with deep learning, such as epochs, gradient norm, and magnitude of model parameter change. PreIndex requires only one forward pass of the data, following which it provides a single concise value to estimate resources associated with retraining to the new distribution shifted data. We show that PreIndex can be reliably used across various datasets, model architectures, different types, and intensities of distribution shifts. Thus, PreIndex enables users to make informed decisions for retraining to different distribution shifts and determine the most cost-effective and sustainable option, allowing for the reuse of a model with a much smaller footprint in the environment.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs)-based recommendation algorithms assume that training and testing data are drawn from independent and identically distributed spaces. This assumption often fails in the presence of out-of-distribution (OOD) data, resulting in significant performance degradation. We propose a novel approach, graph representation learning via causal diffusion (CausalDiffRec) for OOD recommendation.

  We present a simple yet effective pedestrian trajectory prediction model aimed at pedestrians positions prediction in urban-like environments. Our model is a neural-based architecture that can run several layers of attention blocks and transformers in an iterative sequential fashion. We show that without explicit introduction of social masks, dynamical models, social pooling layers, or complicated graph-like structures, it is possible to produce on par results with SoTA models.

  This study examines the effects of updating models in a supply chain using a minimal setting. We demonstrate that when each party in the supply chain has its own forecasting model, uncoordinated model retraining causes the bullwhip effect. Our results also indicate that sharing the forecasting model among the parties involved significantly reduces the bullwhip effect.

  We propose autoregressive conditional score models (AR-CSM) where we parameterize the joint distribution in terms of the derivatives of univariable log-conditionals (scores) For AR-CSM models, this divergence between data and model distributions can be computed and optimized efficiently, requiring no expensive sampling or adversarial training. We show with extensive experimental results that it can be applied to density estimation on synthetic data, image generation, image denoising, and training latent variable models with implicit encoders.
