The passage around this formula
The first response changes what g(a) measures. Tan and colleagues built MnasNet’s rationale explicitly around the observation that operation counts are a poor stand-in for real efficiency, so the search “directly measures real-world inference latency by executing the model on mobile phones,” and reported an architecture 1.8x faster than MobileNetV2 at 0.5% higher accuracy, and 2.3x faster than NASNet at 1.2% higher accuracy [ 8 ] . That is a…
