Title:TIMEGATE: Sustainable Time-Boxed Promotion Gates for Continual ML Adaptation Under Resource Constraints
Abstract:As machine learning(ML) systems evolve to continual adaptation, each re-training cycle uses compute, annotation, and energy. We introduce TIMEGATE, a policy layer managing adaptation by budgeting time, labeling, training, and evaluation. TIMEGATE emits a metric-availability signal M for partial vs. full-evaluation decisions. We validate: (i) labeling outperforms training by 2.3x on Adult tabular; (ii) it transfers to LLaMA-3.1-8B + QLoRA on SST-2 (accuracy 0.80 to 0.96; M =1 in 35/36 runs); (iii) M is informative, 28-cell sensitivity shows M drops to 0.81 at tight thresholds; (iv) 100-cycle simulation achieves 66% evaluation-compute savings with no silent mis-promotions; (v) 10%-slice evaluation on LLaMA uses 89% less wall-clock and energy on a single H200 (ratios agree to 0.2%).
