通过剪枝冗余数据,实现低功耗设备上的高效边缘学习。

Lightweight Edge Learning via Dataset Pruning

  • 用热身阶段的平均损失评估样本重要性,动态剪枝数据集。
  • 训练延迟和能耗随剪枝比例近线性下降,精度损失极小。
  • 无需通信、适配各类模型,适合电池供电的移动边缘设备。

边缘学习通过在数据生成设备上直接训练和适配模型,降低隐私风险和通信延迟。然而,设备端训练的高计算与能耗开销限制了其在电池供电移动系统中的部署,这些系统对功耗、散热和内存有严格约束。尽管已有研究优化了模型架构以提升推理效率,但训练阶段仍受限于处理大规模且常冗余的本地数据集。本文提出一种以数据为中心的优化框架,通过数据集剪枝实现资源高效的边缘学习。不同于处理全部数据的标准方法,本方案利用截断热身阶段的平均损失统计量,在设备端轻量级评估样本重要性,确定性地保留最关键的数据点,剪枝比例动态调整。该机制模型无关,完全本地运行,无需设备间通信。在标准图像分类基准上的大量实验表明,该框架实现了训练延迟和能耗与剪枝比例近线性的下降,模型准确率几乎无损。结果验证了数据集剪枝作为提升资源受限移动边缘设备学习可持续性与可扩展性的关键补充范式。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Edge learning facilitates ubiquitous intelligence by enabling model training and adaptation directly on data-generating devices, thereby mitigating privacy risks and communication latency. However, the high computational and energy overhead of on-device training hinders its deployment on battery-powered mobile systems with strict thermal and memory budgets. While prior research has extensively optimized model architectures for efficient inference, the training phase remains bottlenecked by the processing of massive, often redundant, local datasets. In this work, we propose a data-centric optimization framework that leverages dataset pruning to achieve resource-efficient edge learning. Unlike standard methods that process all available data, our approach constructs compact, highly informative training subsets via a lightweight, on-device importance evaluation. Specifically, we utilize average loss statistics derived from a truncated warm-up phase to rank sample importance, deterministically retaining only the most critical data points under a dynamic pruning ratio. This mechanism is model-agnostic and operates locally without inter-device communication. Extensive experiments on standard image classification benchmarks demonstrate that our framework achieves a near-linear reduction in training latency and energy consumption proportional to the pruning ratio, with negligible degradation in model accuracy. These results validate dataset pruning as a vital, complementary paradigm for enhancing the sustainability and scalability of learning on resource-constrained mobile edge devices.
