2.1 Model Architecture Selection Based on Deployment Objectives

The selection of a model architecture is a critical determinant of the success of machine learning deployment, especially when operational constraints directly influence performance and utility. This process mandates a holistic evaluation framework that balances diverse metrics such as latency, throughput, interpretability, and memory footprint. Each metric not only impacts the technical feasibility but also the alignment with overarching scientific and business goals.

Latency defines the responsiveness of the model in real-time or near-real-time applications. For systems requiring immediate feedback-for instance, autonomous driving or interactive recommendation engines-minimizing latency is paramount. Model architectures featuring shallow depth or reduced parameter counts, such as MobileNets or SqueezeNets, often serve as preferable candidates due to their streamlined computational pathways. However, the trade-off frequently manifests in reduced representational capacity, which may impair accuracy. Quantitative profiling using hardware-specific simulators or on-device benchmarks enables the estimation of per-inference latency to guide architecture tuning.

Throughput addresses the volume of data processed per unit time, relevant in batch-oriented or high-demand scenarios such as cloud-based inference services or data center deployments. Architectures optimized for parallelism-exemplified by convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with balanced layer widths and depths-capitalize on modern hardware accelerators like GPUs and TPUs. Techniques such as model parallelism and pipelining further augment throughput but can complicate architectural design and scaling. A rigorous throughput analysis considers input data size, batch dimensions, and memory bandwidth alongside model internals to ensure that deployments maximize hardware utilization without bottlenecks.

Interpretability provides transparency, critical in domains like healthcare, finance, and legal where understanding model decisions is a regulatory or ethical prerequisite. Architectures inherently promoting interpretability often contrast with complex, deep models. For example, decision trees, generalized additive models (GAMs), or attention-based mechanisms enable insight into feature influence or decision rationale. Integrating post-hoc interpretability methods such as SHAP values or LIME can also guide architecture selection by identifying trade-offs between model complexity and explainability. A deliberate balance is required, as increasing interpretability typically restricts model expressiveness and may diminish predictive performance.

Memory footprint governs deployment viability on devices with constrained storage or runtime memory, such as mobile phones, embedded systems, or edge devices. Architectures with a minimal number of parameters and efficient computational graphs (e.g., pruning, quantization-aware networks) reduce memory consumption without substantial accuracy degradation. Techniques like knowledge distillation transfer knowledge from larger models to compact student networks, preserving performance while dramatically shrinking size. Profiling memory allocation with tools like memory tracing or hardware counters is essential for matching architectures to deployment environments with strict physical limitations.

The interplay among these metrics necessitates a multi-objective optimization perspective. For instance, a model with minimal latency and memory footprint might sacrifice interpretability, while a highly accurate, interpretable model could incur elevated latency and memory demands. To manage this complexity, one may define a weighted utility function reflecting the relative importance of each constraint per deployment scenario:
