摘要:

准确报告能源和碳使用情况对于了解机器学习研究的潜在气候影响至关重要。我们引入了一个框架,通过提供一个简单的界面来跟踪实时能源消耗和碳排放,以及生成标准化的在线附录,使这一点变得更容易。利用这个框架,我们为节能强化学习算法创建了一个排行榜,以激励该领域负责任的研究,作为机器学习其他领域的一个例子。最后,基于使用我们的框架的案例研究,我们提出了减少碳排放和减少能源消耗的战略。通过让记账变得更容易,我们希望进一步推动机器学习实验的可持续发展,并刺激更多对节能算法的研究。

英文摘要:

Accurate reporting of energy and carbon usage is essential for understanding the potential climate impacts of machine learning research. We introduce a framework that makes this easier by providing a simple interface for tracking realtime energy consumption and carbon emissions, as well as generating standardized online appendices. Utilizing this framework, we create a leaderboard for energy efficient reinforcement learning algorithms to incentivize responsible research in this area as an example for other areas of machine learning. Finally, based on case studies using our framework, we propose strategies for mitigation of carbon emissions and reduction of energy consumption. By making accounting easier, we hope to further the sustainable development of machine learning experiments and spur more research into energy efficient algorithms.
