• Abstract summary: We study several neural network architectures that are key components of sound event detection systems. We measure the energy consumption for training and testing small to large architectures. We establish complex relationships between the energy consumption, the number of floating-point operations, the number of parameters, and the GPU/memory utilization.

• Abstract: The massive use of machine learning models, particularly neural networks, has raised serious concerns about their environmental impact. Indeed, over the last few years we have seen an explosion in the computing costs associated with training and deploying these systems. It is, therefore, crucial to understand their energy requirements in order to better integrate them into the evaluation of models, which has so far focused mainly on performance. In this paper, we study several neural network architectures that are key components of sound event detection systems, using an audio tagging task as an example. We measure the energy consumption for training and testing small to large architectures and establish complex relationships between the energy consumption, the number of floating-point operations, the number of parameters, and the GPU/memory utilization.

In practice, the high-frequency part will be processed using expensive operations and the lower-frequency part is assigned with cheap operations to relieve the computation burden. Experiments conducted on benchmark SISR models and datasets show that the frequency-aware dynamic network can be employed for various SISR neural architectures.
