A Real-Time Tsetlin Machine-based Non-intrusive Load Monitoring System on MCUs

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces a Tsetlin Machine (TM)-based framework for Non‑Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) that can run in real time on resource‑constrained microcontrollers. By reformulating NILM as a classification problem, the authors achieve high accuracy—90 % precision and 96 % recall for two appliances, and 77 % precision and 80 % recall for four appliances on the REDD dataset—while keeping the trained model to only 18 KB of flash memory. On an ESP32, the system delivers inference in 0.43 ms, demonstrating its feasibility for privacy‑preserving edge deployment.

Ask for Any Appliance: A Prompt-Programmable Foundation Model for Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring

The paper introduces FM4NILM, a prompt‑programmable foundation model that estimates the power usage of any requested appliance from whole‑home meter data, a natural‑language description, and optional activation examples. Trained on 645k sequences from seven public datasets, the lightweight transformer achieves competitive performance across twelve appliance requests, outperforming seven appliance‑specific baselines on key metrics such as event F1 and active‑window MAE. The model’s design allows new appliance coverage to be added via prompts and examples rather than building separate specialist networks.

Multi-Appliance Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring via Label-Preserving Aggregate Recomposition and Prediction Consistency

The paper introduces a new NILM approach that uses label‑preserving aggregate recomposition and prediction consistency to improve appliance‑level power estimation. By recomposing aggregate windows with only the residual background changed, the method preserves target appliance signals while exposing a new supervisory signal. Experiments on REDD, UK‑DALE, and REFIT show reduced mean absolute error for multiple appliances without adding inference‑time complexity.

EnerInfer: Energy-Aware On-Device LLM Inference

arXiv:2606. 23001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-device LLM inference is increasingly attractive for privacy-preserving, reliable, and cost-effective deployment, yet its energy and thermal costs remain a critical bottleneck.
