FeatureFormer is a neural performance predictor that adds explicit node-wise encodings of FLOPs, parameter counts, and memory proxies to a gated graph attention architecture. It is designed to improve latency and energy prediction for neural networks on edge devices, addressing the limitation of existing GNN and transformer predictors that largely ignore node-level computational cost. The authors also introduce NNEQ, a large-scale energy consumption dataset, and show through extensive experiments that FeatureFormer achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance across both metrics, including challenging out‑of‑domain settings, while the encoding can broadly enhance existing predictors with negligible overhead.

The paper introduces EMMI, a framework that enables communication‑efficient inference of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on edge devices. EMMI encodes each sensor modality separately, fuses the representations, and compresses them into a compact latent vector that is transmitted to a server for high‑capacity reasoning. Experiments on a multimodal benchmark show that EMMI can cut the communication payload by 32× while keeping accuracy comparable, achieving up to a 3.4× reduction in end‑to‑end inference latency under bandwidth‑constrained conditions.
