With experiments on four datasets, and targeting an ultra-low-power RISC-V MCU, we show that (i) We are able to obtain a rich set of Pareto-optimal CNNs for HAR, spanning more than 1 order of magnitude in terms of memory, latency and energy consumption; (ii) Thanks to adaptive inference, we can derive >20 runtime operating modes starting from a single CNN, differing by up to 10% in classification scores and by more than 3x in inference complexity, with a limited memory overhead; (iii) on three of the four benchmarks, we outperform all previous deep learning methods, reducing the memory occupation by more than 100x.

The accuracy of a RF often increases with the number of internal weak learners (decision trees), but at the cost of a proportional increase in inference latency and energy consumption.
