Anton Dalgren © Ylva Lundegård Abstract Impressive results can be achieved when stacking deep neural networks hierarchies together. Several machine learning papers claim state-of-the-art results when evaluating their models with different accuracy metrics. However, these models come at a cost, which is rarely taken into consideration. This thesis aims to shed light on the resource consumption of machine learning algorithms, and therefore, five efficiency metrics are proposed. These should be used for evaluating machine learning models, taking accuracy, model size, and time and energy consumption for both training and inference into account. These metrics are intended to allow for a fairer evaluation of machine learning models, not only looking at accuracy. This thesis presents an example of how these metrics can be used by applying them to both text and image classification tasks using the algorithms SVM, MLP, and CNN. Acknowledgments We want to thank Armin Catovic, our supervisor at Ericsson, for assisting us during the entire thesis. We would also like to thank our examiner Petru Eles. A special thanks to our families and friends for their support, encouragement and laughter during these years at Linköping University, we would not have been able to this without you. We had a blast!

It also presents the research questions and delimitations. 1.1 Motivation The amount of compute needed for AI, which machine learning is a part of, is growing rapidly. The amount of compute for the largest AI training runs is doubling every 3.5 month. Since 2012, the amount of compute needed has increased by 300 000 times. [1] Several machine learning papers claim state-of-the-art results when evaluating the models with different accuracy metrics. It is possible to get impressive results when stacking deep neural networks hierarchies together and using the latest hardware. However, this comes at a cost. This cost includes time, memory and energy, and it is rarely taken into account in research papers [26]. It is easy to get blinded by the drastically increasing results of the models. This growth brings issues that become increasingly important, and we need to start paying attention to the cost of machine learning. These machine learning algorithms are starting to get too complex for the hardware that we have today. Instead of only focusing on making better hardware, we should also focus on having resource consumption in mind when choosing a machine learning model. 1.2 Aim This thesis aims to test a set of metrics for evaluating machine learning algorithms, taking into account time, memory, energy and accuracy. When doing so, it is also essential to make a comparison between the different algorithms as fair as possible. That is because the algorithms are all designed to work in different ways and have different strengths and weaknesses. With that said, the goal is that this thesis leads to an example of how to make a more fair evaluation between algorithms, and not only favor the ones with the best accuracy. 1 1.3. Research questions 1.3 Research questions This thesis tries to answer the following questions: 1. How can we make a fair comparison between machine learning algorithms with respect to resource consumption? 2. How to compare machine learning algorithms to each other using efficiency metrics based on resource consumption? 1.4 Delimitations The only measurements that are taken into account when evaluating these machine learning algorithms are accuracy, model size, energy consumption for the CPU and GPU, and time consumption for training and inference. More things could be taken into account, for example, memory consumption during runtime and some measurement on how serious the errors are. However, this is outside the scope of this thesis. This thesis should not either be seen as an evaluation of machine learning algorithms. It instead provides a methodology for evaluating a certain implementation of a machine learning algorithm. 2 2 Background This thesis was conducted at Ericsson. Ericsson is a Swedish company that was founded in 1876 in Stockholm. They have about 95 000 employees across the world, of which about 12 500 in Sweden. It is one of the worlds leading provider of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions. About 40% of the world’s mobile traffic is carried through Ericsson’s networks. 1 Armin Catovic, who is a senior specialist in machine learning at Ericsson, proposed this thesis. The authors did not have much prior experience in machine learning but were interested in the evaluation. The thesis was conducted at Ericsson’s headquarter in Kista (Stockholm). 1 https://www.ericsson.com/en/about-us 3 3 Theory This chapter will describe the theory needed for understanding the method used in this thesis. 3.1 Machine Learning Machine learning is a buzzword that is being used a lot nowadays.

ML- PACK provides cutting-edge algorithms whose benchmarks exhibit far better performance than other leading machine learning libraries. MLPACK version 1.0.3, licensed under the LGPL, is available at http://www.mlpack.org. 1. Introduction and Goals Though several machine learning libraries are freely available online, few, if any, offer efficient algorithms to the average user. For instance, the popular Weka toolkit (Hall et al., 2009) emphasizes ease of use but scales poorly; the distributed Apache Mahout library offers scal- ability at a cost of higher overhead (such as clusters and powerful servers often unavailable to the average user). Also, few libraries offer breadth; for instance, libsvm (Chang and Lin, 2011) and the Tilburg Memory-Based Learner (TiMBL) are highly scalable and accessible arXiv:1210.6293v1 [cs.MS] 23 Oct 2012 yet each offer only a single method.

    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 7, Issue 8, August-2016 1624 ISSN 2229-5518 Performance Evaluation of Maximum- Likelihood Algorithm afterApplying PCA on LISS 3 Image using Python Platform MayuriChatse, Vikas Gore, RasikaKalyane, Dr. K. V. Kale Dr. BabasahebAmbedkarMarathwada, University, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India Abstract—This paper presents a system for multispectral image processing of LISS3 image using python programming language. The system starts with preprocessing technique i.e. by applying PCA on LISS3 image.PCA reduces image dimensionality by processing new, uncorrelated bands consisting of the principal components (PCs) of the given bands. Thus, this method transforms the original data set into a new dataset, which captures essential information.Further classification is done through maximum- likelihood algorithm. It is tested and evaluated on selected area i.e. region of interest. Accuracy is evaluated by confusion matrix and kappa statics.Satellite imagery tool using python shows better result in terms of overall accuracy and kappa coefficient than ENVI tool’s for maximum-likelihood algorithm.

Keywords: Python, machine learning, classification, regression, dimensionality reduc- tion, clustering 1. Overview We introduce here mlpy, a library providing access to a wide spectrum of machine learn- ing methods implemented in Python, which has proven to be an effective environment for building scientific oriented tools (P´erez et al., 2011). Although planned for general purpose applications, mlpy has the computational biology in general, and the functional genomics modeling in particular, as the elective application fields. As a major applications example, arXiv:1202.6548v2 [cs.MS] 1 Mar 2012 we use mlpy methods to implement molecular profiling experiments that need to warrant study reproducibility (Ioannidis et al., 2009) and flawless results (Ambroise and McLachlan, 2002). This task requires the availability of highly modular tools allowing the praction- ers to build an adequate workflow for the task at hand following authoritative guidelines (The MicroArray Quality Control (MAQC) Consortium, 2010).

One of the crucial indicators is the research results publication. So, it is obvious a university activity setting – not except our faculty – the Faculty of Informatics and Information Technologies of the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava – oriented to the closest possible research and education connection. There is a natural effort of researchers to name research problems, analyse existing solutions and approaches in close confrontation with the design and implementation of their own solution. State of the art in a domain, as well as their own approach in solving problems naturally together with evaluation, are usually part of the final work of students at all three levels of university study.
