On the Instance Hardness as a Decision Criterion in TinyML Systems

The paper discusses TinyML, which deploys machine learning on devices with limited memory and computing resources. It introduces a preliminary study using the tree depth prune instance hardness method to control thresholds in TinyML systems. The results suggest that adjusting these thresholds can reduce energy consumption while maintaining classification quality.

ENAS: An Efficient Hardware-Aware Neural Architecture Search Framework for TinyML on Resource-Constrained Microcontrollers

ENAS is a hardware‑aware neural architecture search framework tailored for TinyML on microcontrollers. It uses a static feasibility check, a cell‑based search space with various block types and skip connections, and a three‑stage hybrid search strategy (random → top‑K → mutation) with cross‑run caching. The framework runs efficiently without GPUs, achieving significant search‑time speedups and competitive accuracy on Visual Wake Words and Melanoma Cancer benchmarks across a range of microcontrollers.
