Automated Computational Energy Minimization of ML Algorithms using Constrained Bayesian Optimization

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.

HyperMC: Multi-Fidelity Hyperparameter Tuning for Stochastic Gradient MCMC

HyperMC is a multi‑fidelity hyperparameter tuning framework for stochastic gradient Markov chain Monte Carlo (SGMCMC) that combines Hyperband-style resource allocation with kernel Stein discrepancy (KSD) evaluation. It uses successive‑halving brackets to explore a continuous hyperparameter space while progressively refining promising configurations within a fixed computational budget. Robust HyperMC further introduces global grid initialization and elite‑guided local refinement to reduce sensitivity to random candidate generation and noisy evaluations, and theoretical analysis shows that the successive‑halving component selects a near‑optimal configuration with high probability under suitable conditions.
