Benchmarking Model Compression Techniques Across Heterogeneous Edge Platforms: A Predictive Maintenance Use Case for Rotating Machinery

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper evaluates four advanced model compression methods on a high‑performance convolutional neural network for predictive maintenance of rotating machinery. Using a real‑world dataset, the authors benchmarked the compressed models on nine diverse edge devices, balancing classification accuracy, inference speed, and compression ratio. Knowledge distillation emerged as the most effective technique, delivering over 90% speedup, a 98.9% size reduction, and only a minor drop in balanced F‑score (91.22%) compared to the uncompressed model.

Adaptive AI: Energy Efficient Multi-exit TinyML on Intelligent Vision Systems at the Edge

The paper presents a novel multi‑exit computational scheme for TinyML on an ultra‑low‑power GAP9 SoC, adding confidence‑based gating points to a MobileNetV2 CNN for ImageNet‑100. By allowing inference to stop early, the approach cuts average MAC operations by 41 % (from 313 MMAC to 185 MMAC), reduces inference time by 29 % (49 ms to 35 ms), and saves 24 % in energy (2.1 mJ to 1.6 mJ per frame) with only a ~1 % drop in accuracy. Compared to a state‑of‑the‑art adaptive CNN on the same hardware, the method more than doubles computational efficiency, raising MAC/cycle from 8.1 to 17.2.
