This workshop aims to bring together people from different areas and backgrounds in data mining and machine learning that have a common interest in energy efficiency, scalability, and edge computing.

For the past years, the main concern in machine learning had been to create highly accurate models, without considering the high computational requirements involved. This has lead to a scenario where most of the machine learning prediction is done in the cloud, incurring in security concerns and increased latency.

However, there is an increasing trend in machine learning which focuses on building models that are able to run in the edge. For instance, Google has released the first speech recognition model running directly on the device, improving latency and reducing energy consumed by the network connectivity. Another example is TensorLite, a powerful tool to deploy models on mobile and IoT devices.

The goal with this workshop is to promote green machine learning even further, by creating a half-day workshop where researchers in different machine learning and data mining areas can bring together their ideas, present them in front of a heterogeneous crowd, and have interesting debates on how to advance machine learning into a more scalable future.

We accept original work, already completed, or in progress. Position papers and extended abstracts are also considered.

Accepted papers (except for extended abstracts) will be published in ECML-PKDD 2019 Workshop proceedings.
