The rapid deployment of machine learning systems across cloud, edge, and enterprise environments has brought model optimization to the forefront of systems-engineering. Despite a rich literature spanning quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), and inference-time optimization, practitioners are often left navigating these techniques through heuristics rather than principled methodology.

arXiv:2607. 23448v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Expensive constrained optimization problems in real-world industry design often involve constraint thresholds that are difficult to determine in advance.
The paper argues that AI deployment performance depends on interactions among compression, compiler transformations, and serving policies rather than just model architecture. It introduces a three‑layer taxonomy—model‑level techniques, compiler transformations, and system policies—and frames deployment as a constrained multi‑objective optimization problem over accuracy, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and energy. The authors propose an evidence protocol for comparable benchmarking and synthesize data from edge and data‑center platforms to show that cross‑layer interactions drive deployment outcomes, concluding with a constraint‑aware selection procedure and open research problems.

arXiv:2505. 05203v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: With the increasing penetration of renewable energy and inverter-based resources, traditional physics-based power-system operation faces growing challenges in maintaining economic efficiency, security, and robustness.
The paper presents a method that uses Constrained Bayesian Optimization (CBO) to minimize the energy consumption of machine learning models while ensuring their generalization performance stays above a specified threshold. By treating energy usage as the primary objective and performance as a constraint, the authors demonstrate that CBO can reduce training energy costs on both regression and classification tasks without sacrificing predictive accuracy.

Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is a fundamental problem class in operations research and combinatorial optimization, with broad applications to industrial decision-making. Owing to their NP-hardness, however, modern solvers may struggle to find high-quality solutions for challenging MILP instances within practical time limits.
