Abstract
Scalable-effort machine learning may automatically and dynamically adjust the amount of computational effort applied to input data based on the complexity of the input data. This is in contrast to fixed-effort machine learning, which uses a one-size-fits-all approach to applying a single classifier algorithm to both simple data and complex data. Scalable-effort machine learning involves, among other things, classifiers that may be arranged as a series of multiple classifier stages having increasing complexity (and accuracy). A first classifier stage may involve relatively simple machine learning models able to classify data that is relatively simple. Subsequent classifier stages have increasingly complex machine learning models and are able to classify more complex data. Scalable-effort machine learning includes algorithms that can differentiate among data based on complexity of the data.
