Title

Use Majority Voting

Description

Majority voting is a fusion method that avoids extra training overhead resulting in energy savings compared to a stacking/meta-model. Accuracy can also be improved.

Participant

Machine Learning Practitioners and Researchers.

Related software artifact

Fusion Method.

Context

Machine Learning Systems. Ensemble Fusion. Green AI.

Software feature

Majority Voting.

Tactic intent

Reduce energy and maintaining or improving accuracy.

Target quality attribute

Energy Efficiency.

Other related quality attributes

Accuracy.

Measured impact

Majority voting emerged as the more energy-efficient fusion method in comparison to meta-model. It not only required on average 34.43% less energy but also increased accuracy by 0.066. Energy measured in Joule (J) for training all base models, the optional meta-model, and fusion-time inference. Accuracy measured in F1.
