Previous seminar at Goto 10 in Malmö

Is Machine Learning Sustainable?

26 okt 2020, 17:30–20:00 | Organizer: Foo Café

The event has passed.

Training a single NLP model can emit as much carbon as five cars in their lifetime. Is there such a thing as green Machine Learning?

With accuracy hungry algorithms ML software is consuming more and more computational resources, largely benefiting from the increasingly better hardware. Are the results worth the environmental cost? This talk will cover some of the latest research in the area, showing options to estimate the carbon footprint and discuss ideas on how to make Machine Learning greener.

Goto 10 är en arena där individer och organisationer kan dela kunskap, idéer och perspektiv. Detta event speglar arrangörens åsikter och delas inte nödvändigtvis av oss på Goto 10 och Internetstiftelsen. På Goto 10 får idéer och kunskap testas, diskuteras och utvecklas så länge de följer våra riktlinjer.
