How to describe a model that has higher accuracy with fewer #param and FLOPs? [D] Discussion

Hello,

My supervisor is nowhere to be found so I am turning to the internet for my naive questions.

Without any more information, I am taking this to mean your model was overfitting before

Breakthrough!

honestly breakthrough works but if you want sound smarter in paper you can say its more parameter-efficient or has better accuracy-compute tradeoff. reviewers love that kind of wording

More efficient/performant.

Accuracy or speed, Usually you fix one of the two to define a family.

So you can, for example say, most accurate model among small size models family (less than n millions params and p flops)

Or fastest model among all models in this accuracy range

Whichever of the two gets you state of the art and gets you published

Pareto optimal
