Title

[Using Energy-Efficient Multi-Objective Optimization for AI Training and Inference]

Description

Applying a dynamic, phase-aware multi-objective optimization algorithm to AI model training and inference. It balances energy consumption and model accuracy by using gradient-based optimization techniques, Pareto front analysis, and real-time performance feedback. The system dynamically adjusts learning rate, quantization levels, and trade-off weights to minimize energy usage without degrading accuracy beyond an acceptable threshold

Participant

AI engineers
